I asked this question in the Binder Section but no answer.
What is the spring perch width of a Front Scout 44.

As I recall, the Scout front springs are 1-1/2" wide, so the perches should be close to that. You can used wider perches than the springs, but not narrower.

No, I mean the centerline distance between the springs.

I think it's about 30-31". I know that you have to outboard the springs on a CJ about 1.5" to bolt them into a CJ (27.5").

I think they are the same as Chevy @ 31.5"+/-
I saw your cut housing for sale. So I guess the new plan is go a little wider & do the back at the same time?
I have a full width Chevy housing & a set of flat tops if you want it.
Finally putting mine together this weekend.

see ya
