Anyone here know what ball heads are out there that I can attach a Really Right Stuff lever release clamp to?

Besides the RRS heads…too expensive

Look for a used one. Why buy a RRS clamp then? There are plenty of cheap arca clamps on the market. Where a RRS ball head really shines is the ball head itself.
 
The lever on the rrs clamp is the most important part about an arca Swiss ball head to me…I need that quick release lever that won’t break compared to some cheaper options that I’ve seen…I’m building a lightweight packable tripod for rifle hunting

Leofoto has some pretty impressive options. I was messing with a few at the Western Hunting Expo in the Rent Guns and Gear booth.

There's a huge difference in the performance of RRS ball heads and the imports, especially in cold weather during hunting season. RRS also consistently have the lowest weight heads for the weight rating.

A BH-30LR is perfect for what you're looking for and you can pick them up lightly used for $200-$250. Ebay is a good place to look. Just the clamps are $150 or so so you might as well just get the whole ball head for not much more.
