    What do you folks recommend and where to buy? Use is a 12.7 detroit around 550 hp tuned by Leon, probably putting out around 1800 tq if not a bit more. I'm usually under 90k gross. Also does anyone have any experience with this style clutch fork?

    Looks interesting.

    Looks like I could get away with the "lipe 2" which is rated for 2000 ft lbs.

    A mechanic was telling me about a Sachs easy pedal they'd put in a lot of equipment and had been good clutches. I thought there were a few guys on here not happy with Lipe going back with Eaton.

    what you like about the easy pedal is the ease at which to push the clutch in, they feel great but are prone to springs breaking, Lipe has a different design which is not prone to failure, yes the pedal feels heavier, id rather have a heavy pedal then having to replace a clutch prematurely due to a broken spring... your choice!!!
