Awesome.
I don't need anything built today, but when I do, I know who to call.

I've used Ballistic Fabrication's custom manufacturing services for three projects now and all I can say is; WOW, THESE GUYS REALLY HAVE THEIR ACT TOGETHER!

Fast turn around, perfect fit the first time, very affordable.

I'll be a return customer for sure.

could BF design a 22.5* angles LCA bracket for a 14BFF ... that wraps completely around the axle tube? it would have to be axle tube diameter + 2" (1" larger on either side of the tube) and would obviously have to be 2 piece design ...

im debating on whether or not i want the bracket cut with an elipse or cut straight and then bent ... thought BF crew?

Cool. I have been kicking around an idea for plating a TJ factory half door with 3/16" plate. I wanted it to be a weld on part that is laser cut to fit around the bolt on hinges, door lock, and door handle. It would be a cool product for you guys to sell also. Is that something you guys could do?

We could definitely handle that but I do not have a TJ in the shop at the moment. You could either furnish us with a template, a drawing, or a CAD file and we could quote the job out for you. Thanks.

Hello guys, congrats on the forum.

Do you have or plan to have a rockwell tie rod knuckle adapter to use standard 3/4" bolt and heim?

Thks

Ha I want to do the exact same thing. You guys should start cutting these out.

Do you have any plans to make some high quality Hi-Steer arms for the Rockwells? I am sure you could corner the market if you did so! Especially if you make them like you have your Dana 60 arms! That would be a sweet addition to your lineup of steering components and definitely be something I would be looking to get from you!! (maybe even your first set:smokin:) I have been bugging you for about a year now for this one ;)

I am not a metallurgist, but would the hi-steer arms be strong enough for Rockwells and 44"+ tire sizes if they were made like the Dana 60 arms pictured above??
Thanks for the consideration and I look forward to your info!

Cool. I had planned on making a template and using the plasma to cut it out but it would never be as sharp as a laser cut. I thought I would throw the idea to you guys in case you thought it would be a good product for you to sell. I am just OK at CAD but I'll see if I can draw it up.

I have actually been modeling up a design for a hy-steer arm for my rockwell, i will pm you(ballistic eng) later with the rough model and maybe we can work something out to get one made for my set up.

Sounds like a plan. It only takes a few minutes to generate a quote from a CAD file.

We don't currently have a Rockwell in the shop, but I'm working on getting one back in here. We try to keep all of our inventory moving and that includes our junkyard as well. We can certainly make the part you sent earlier (via Pm), but whether or not it is economical will have to be determined. I'll see what we can come up with in the next few days.

Price range for 4 15" x 1/4" thick aluminum rock ring with 14 letter logo cut out?

Email sent for custom rock rings for my DC-1 wheels

We've had several requests for AL rock rings and bead locks. We used to sell these for between 100$ - 175$ per wheel from 3/8" AL, and that is on a standard production part. Due to lack of interest we have temporarily discontinued sales on them, however we would be willing to do a large batch, if all the parties interested wanted to make a large group buy in. I know this makes it difficult because you all have different wheels and sizes, but it's the best way to keep your individual costs down if you can work something out. If we see enough interest in AL beadlocks in general we will begin production on 15-17" wheels again possibly. Thanks for the interest.

Cool deal, i can do all the cad work and get all the dimensional drawings done up, i'm just looking for a source to manufacture the component.I will taking all the dimensions off my front housing this weekend and then i will be able to design a more accurate model. If you want i can send you the model once it is complete with all the accurate dimensions and go from there? Let me know. Thanks.

Sounds great - Jeff

You guys should look to the local wheeler sites/4X4 Clubs in AZ, I am sure there are plenty of guys who will lend you their junk to do development if you offer them a production run part. Will keep your Junkyard costs down and would probably work out for everyone.

Have you guys fitted the D60 rear truss on a D70? Would it be possible to trim the top to fit over the larger pumpkin? Have y'all thought about making a full hydro truss, or a kit, for the front of D60's?

How about an affordable 8 lug conversion kit for us rockwell guys. Something that will put the WMS to WMS in the 74" or narrower range. Randy O's stuff is perfect but not cheap, and going to the 14b wheel hub does nothing to narrow the width. A wheel hub kit that got the width as narrow as possible, used an alum rotor hat and 14" x 1.10" wilwood rotor for use with a set of H2 wheels would be :smokin:

I would gladly offer up a stock knuckle/spindle/wheel hub for the prototyping

What kind of accuracy and repeatability can your laser maintain in .750 CrMo? I have some parts designed and drawn up in Inventor and I'm looking at manufacturing options. The profile is beyond the capability of my CNC mill tooling.

Unfortunately it's also beyond the capability of our laser. Send me the profile. Our mill operator and programmer is pretty good.

I have my BS in manufacturing engineering. I have an extremely accurate mill. It's a german made Deckel mill with a hurco controller. It'll hold .0001" with good tooling. I'm in need of an involute spline however. I'm likely going to have to have it EDM'd where I work. I was just looking for some more cost effective methods. I just don't have the quantity yet to send them to a gear cutter.

Without a doubt EDM will be your best option, but check with us if you need anything else.

Sorry, No we have not personally put a Dana 60 truss on a Dana 70 so I do not know if it will fit. We do have plans for a full hydro setup, but it's in a long line of products to be developed.

Ran across this a few months ago and never got a response from you guys. It was in this post http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showpost.php?p=10104362&postcount=11
I emailed your sales department and never got an answer. Are you guys selling this jig table, and do you have a price on it.
Thanks

What would a 20" set run? I have a custom pattern drawn up already, nothing too fancy. Also, do you add a centering ring or are both inner and outer rings flat?

thanks,
Will

Sorry, a 20" wheel (21" beadlock) is just outside the travel limits of our CNC mills.

Jeff

Could you guys turn down your ID tube clamps so that they would fit 1.25 sch 40 pipe with OD 1.66 and ID of 1.38?

I would suggest using the 1.5 to 1.25 ID tube clamp as is or using a different size tube. We could make a custom tube clamp to fit your needs but we cannot turn down our current 1.75" tube clamp to fit your needs as the design constraints won't allow it.

What about us guys who just want (or only need) a beefy 44? Like double sheer high steer arms (even single sheer with a bolt that lines up with the knuckle arm) and trusses.

Those are parts that are just in a long line of other parts to be produced. We've been developing several larger kits recently so some of the smaller parts have taken a back seat, but they are in the works.

What about larger-than-normal steel beadlocks? I've got some really heavy duty 22.5" wheels that are begging for some beadlocks to keep my firestones in place.

Would there be a significant strength increase with material thicker than 1/4?

*edit: I'd be interested to know why they can't cut them on the laser.

*edit: I'd be interested to know why they can't cut them on the laser.

The previous customer had inquired about an aluminum wheel which at this time needs to be done on the mill due to our QC requirements for aluminum wheels. We can do up to a 47" diameter circle on the laser for steel wheels. Price on a wheel that large would add about 50% to the cost due to the increased cut time as well as material. Thanks.

what kind of tolerance could your laser hold in 1/4" polycarbonate?

I don't like to run anything but metallics in the laser.. but if I did, we could hold .002 without any issues and probably tighter.

Here is a picture of swing arms completed as well as a custom centered front D70 truss.

I sent dimensions and minimal description with these parts. When they arrived I did not even plug the grinder in they fit so precisely.:eek: It really helps to have a company in tune with what is going on in the wheeling community.

Many thanks to the team at Ballistic

Im sure you guys are sick of hearing about it but what about a 3 link or just 3 link brackets for us xj guys? Im not talking into full production here but would you guys be willing to do it as a custom job?

They're done, just looking for two seconds to breathe and we'll get them posted. We have a radius arm and 3-link setup completed with full replacement crossmember and reinforcements.

I've been told to be careful what I post, now I know why.

We were sent a drawing and said this is what we'd like, with these dimensions. I don't check the integrity of every image I get, especially of non-patented items that we will not be selling for retail. If you'd like I can get you in touch with the person who sent the image to me. To the best of my knowledge it was designed by them. Both of these were made for the same customer.

Not to mention that we are not selling these arms to the public, at this point we're simply stating that with provided dimensions we can produce most requested parts. No need to call anyone a theif.

i would love to see this new xj 3 link as well as a price. in the next month im going to be 3 linking my jeep and if you can make my life a lot easier i would definately go with yall.

I'm working on making it a 3 link. As of right now it's still a radius arm. I have a few changes to make after testing on our shop vehicle.

oh because this statement led me to believe it was already ready to come out.

but regardless im waiting either way. my main goal is to be able to buy a well built 3 link crossmember. besides that i can put together all of the other components to make everything else work. id just like to start with a good platform on the crossmember. but i do appreciate the quick response. also did yall ever come out with the full 30 truss that was in the other thread? id like to get a price quote because right now its between you and tnt on the truss. i dont want just a piece of 2x2 tieing the tubes together. i want something to be strong as well as look professional. i also realize that it causes great difficulty building a kit because of a driver side or pass side diff.

I can sell the truss as is right now. I will try and have it on the website by the end of the day. We hired a new guy and he's fast and updating the site. We're happy with the overall design of the radius arm setup, but we're focusing on making the assembly process as seamless as possible so that almost anyone can install it. We had a high demand for a 3 link so we're working on that as well.

thats great thanks. do you know if the 3 link is going to be based off of a whole new crossmember?

thats great thanks. do you know if the 3 link is going to be based off of a whole new crossmember?

I'm going to try and use the same crossmember for now, but until I get it designed I will make no promises.

fair enough.

wow was not expecting that at all. more than half the price of tnt

I've had a few inquiries about minimum quantities required to have custom parts made.

There are none

Sometimes it is not cost effective for the customer to only buy one because of the high cost to produce a single part, but we will not turn down jobs due to low required quantities

Thanks

As a request from Jeff, I am dropping into this thread to clear up that Ballistic did not "steal" any ideas when it came to the design on the control arms installed on the CRAWL Mag, EOR car.

I have PM'd JR about this and assured him that the design was not "copied" from his build but modeled after a set of CORR truck arms that I had in the shop at Xtreme. This arm design is very readily used in short course and desert racing trucks.

I work with Ballistic Fab on a regular basis for parts for Xtreme 4x4 and for CRAWL Magazine and have never questioned their integrity when it came to designing custom parts.

I'm looking for a conical insert to slip in a stock Ford dana 60 knuckle and allow for a 5/8" through bolt. This will allow a heim on top of the stock knuckle tied rod location without much drilling (if any). I believe a 5/8" through hole would be sufficient - it holds the ram heims just fine to the tie rod and axle housing

I have seen your insert to flip the TRE - I don't want to run a TRE anymore

The beginning portion of the TRE taper is larger than 3/4" so just drilling will leave a portion of a 3/4" bolt not contacting the knuckle.

I suppose I could drill it out to 1" and add a sleeve for a 5/8 or 3/4" bolt if the sleeve had a "top hat" so it wouldn't fall through.

Got anything similar laying around that I couldn't find on your site?

Custom parts are still one of our hottest sellers from mild changes to extreme builds we can create a bracket or component to suit your needs. Turn around time on laser cut parts is around 3 days before shipment right now.

As per our newsletter we're offering 10% off on custom laser cutting services right now, so if you've got that bracket you just really don't want to make by hand, send it our way.

We can sell you specific components from the system, but a full kit is probably not likely at this point.

I'll have Allen post pics of the components that we designed for the kit (all of which make a very well performing overall system).

I'm mainly just concerned with the crossmember and the brackets that go onto the lowers that the uppers connect to. Everything else is easy

Axle tube diameter: 3.5''

anyway you guys could make these for a 4'' axle tube for my 11.5 AAM? in the process of linking the rear of my truck. also may need you guys to make me a longer tracbar bracket than what you guys have on the site. one more thing, it would be awesome to make coil over mounts for the front of the 03-newer dodge diesels, i know they would sell.

please get back to me as soon as you can,

Any chance you could design and build a bender for 3/16 aluminum jeep corners guards. You supply a weld up frame and dies, builder supplies a hydraulic jack?

I can get aluminum locally, I can cut it, I just can't bend it... Need to make custom height/length guards to cover up the body work on my YJ/brute/aqualu truck project.

and unlike most shops, we don't have setup fees for materials we run a lot.

whats Ballistic Fab, so im going to be making a bumper for my 2002 chevy tahoe soon and i want to model it after a fab fours bumper since they dont make one for my truck, i talked to them and they said they would love to see how it ends up, but i would need some one to cut out all the parts for me. it would resemble something like this:

We can certainly cut the parts for you, if you get us files to cut or at the least fully dimensioned drawings of the parts. Should you want to sign an NDA, we have one available. Thanks

The commercial at the bottom of the page has a short clip, but I'll see if we can take some more HD video in the next day or two if we run anything cool.

What kind of lead times would I be working with if I have solidworks drawings and dxf's available?

Allen, Dave, and Crew, it might benefit your customers if you posted up a brief description of the procedure for developing custom parts based on customer specs. Something that touches on confirming dimensions, material, lead times, price, and non-disclosure.

What kind of lead times would I be working with if I have solidworks drawings and dxf's available?

It depends on the materials involved, complexity of the part and the overall quantity, but the typical lead time for most custom orders is 5-7 business before shipment.

Good Suggestion

Typically for custom components a customer will send me

A) A drawing on a napkin
B) A drawing on the back of an envelope at a 46.3º degree angle
C) A template cut out of a beer box
D) some other means of conveying an idea or part

I will then do my best to create a model of the part and then a drawing with all dimensions. At which time I will send this off to the customer for confirmation. Sometimes this step is not done if I receive a CAD file that does not require changes or modification to manufacture properly.

Materials are typically pre-determined by the customer based on his or her needs but I can and do make suggestions based on design constraints

Lead time will largely be effected by the quantity, complexity, material specs, and number of processes involved to create the parts, but 5-7 business days is pretty common for production of simple sheet metal parts that only need cut and bent

Price is determined by the production time, programming time, and material and is greatly effected by quantity but is typically reasonable for sheet metal products

Last but not least, we do have a pre-drafted NDA for customers who do not have one and are concerned about intellectual property rights and designs. I will not re-sell a custom made part without the original owners permission regardless of whether or not an NDA was signed, this is just good business practice. However, if we develop a product based on an idea or suggestion such as in the Ballistic zone, we do consider all designs property of Ballistic Fab.

That is awesome Allen! Like always, everything you have done for me is spot on perfect and very reasonable. This is why I use you guys even thou you are 1300 miles away. Still easier to deal with then walking into a local shop.

Keep it up!!!!

Another innovative solution for one of our good customers problems. Integrated a custom shock tower into one of our best selling products to fit their needs.
