Which Ballistic Joint size do I need?

Measure your old joint first. Three numbers tell us exactly which one fits.

  1. Measure the joint WIDTH (how wide it is across where it bolts into the bracket). Our sizes are 2.0", 2.63" and 3.0" wide.
  2. Measure the BOLT HOLE through the middle ball (for example 9/16", 5/8" or 3/4").
  3. Measure the THREADED SHANK: the outside diameter of the threads (for example 1.25") and threads per inch (for example 12 tpi).
  4. Check the THREAD DIRECTION: does it tighten turning right (normal) or left? Most links use one of each.
  5. Rule of thumb: 2.0" = lighter jobs like traction bars and light 4-links. 2.63" = the standard 4-link joint. 3.0" Ultra Duty = heavy trucks and big tires.
  6. Not sure? Send us those measurements and a photo and we'll pick it for you.
