I am in the middle of a low budget SOA conversion. I am looking for a place to purchase the pasengers side spring perch for a Dana 30 front axle, or someone with some good advice on fabrication. I bought the jeep with the rear done and im in the process of doing the front. I have the drop pitman arm, and pretty much everything else i need so im just looking for a place to get this hanger or some fab. ideas.

Just go to 4 wheel parts or some place that sells 4x4 accesories and products and they should have them.

It would be pretty easy to fab but if you want to buy it give this guy a try, he might seperate pieces from his kit and he list an "offset" perch so it may be just what your looking for.

Sweet, thanks Kurt.
:edit: the actual part number as far as Chrysler is concerned is P4120074, in case anyone wants to know. And they're $8 a pair!

That's me. The problem I found out AFTER I ordered them is that the hole for the spring pack bolt is too big and will allow your spring to move around. It's discussed here:

I'd look around. Foothilloffroad.com sells a bunch that you can use.
