There is an alternative to Big Grips - the factory calls them spelter
sockets, which are similar to the old potting terminations, but heavier
duty. In fact, spelter sockets are the ONLY option on the larger sizes
of Philly (26,000 lb - 260,000 lb. The factory installs them - you just
specify your lengths.

A little more expensive, but very convenient.
