    I just installed my stage 5 Icon Suspension. There was the cable that was attached to the stock UCA with a bracket. I keep seeing to just zip tie it to the new UCA and there is no aftermarket bracket. Or I can’t find one. I haven’t noticed any issues of snagging though..

    There's a bolt sticking out on the UCA for where that line/bracket is supposed to be attached. Should have been a factory bracket there.. Can't tell in the pic if it's there still and just pushed up. You might need to reposition it on the cable to get it sit where the cable has happy slack on both ends, I had to with my JBA's.

    Should sit on there like this:

    That's your ABS wire, you don't want that flapping around because they're pretty fragile and the slightest snag on something may cause issues. I'd secure it to the UCA somehow, nothing wrong with just zip tying it.

    The only thing with the factory bracket is it shaped like the stock UCA. Bulky and square. I was hoping someone made a aftermarket bracket to fit tubular UCAs.

    Oh.. that's your whole problem? You just don't want to use it because it isn't pretty? You can bend up a new one or modify that one however you want, it won't be overly difficult to do. It just hooks over the line on one end and has a hole on the other. You can't see it with the tire installed either way.

    If you have a dremel or any sort of metal cutting tool (sheet metal snips would probably even work) you can just trim down the factory mount and paint it.
