Default Anyone using the Jegs Torque Arm?

Does anyone have any experience with the Jegs torque arm? Hows it built quality wise? Any problems?

Here are some pics

It looks real similar to the alston t/a that a few people are running without any problems, bit the pinion angle is not adjustable with the jegs and the alston is about twice the price

I use the MAC torque arm which is VERY similar to the jegs. The only difference that I see is that the MAC torque arm has a drive shaft loop.

It's a VERY stout piece and I like it a lot.

How much did Mike @ Alston quote you on price 00Red, He said likd <400 on the phone to me on Friday.

I would not bother with a torque arm unless it was adjustable.

I'm thinking about the Spohn torque arm. So far I like the design of it the best.

I just picked up what I think is the JEGS TA...maybe its mac...it has a DS loop and mounts to the tunnel with 6 bolts on each side

Paid $50 so I'm liking it so far.

A moser 9" moves the torque arm very far to the left, I had a jegster and it was on too much of an angle - didnt even try putting it on and sent it back. They may have changed the mounting bracket since, the one I tried wasnt even close with a 9" moser a couple years ago.
