ok whos made there own i did a search .. but to muchgeneral info..

so what im looking at is doing a custom perch set up...

im thinking 2 inchs longer.. and putting a inchs spacer on the back front side.. and doign the sme on the rear...

and one got pics of there setups.. ive got most of the stuff to do this my self.. so ive got an idea just wanna see what other peoples looks like..


payton!

There spring perches how special can they be :rolleyes: Get some .25"x2.5" channel iron or square tubing and use a hole saw or cutting torch for the relief. What do you need the spacer for.

I used the orginal cast ones from my wag axles and added 7" long 5/8" thick plates on top. Cranked the big welder up and burned um on. Simple

I made mine out of 2.5"x2.5"x1/4" box tubing. A good cutoff wheel on the grinder and a couple hours later i had 4 perches. I made mine 7" long similar to the MORE perches. Easy enough:D

Sounds like a :rainbow: way to add some lift.

not just a lift..

just adding on .. my perchs are stressed now... so thats why im looking at making new ones..im doing a spring over puttin d-44's under .. so its not jsut a cheap lift.. just adding a lil extra while ive got it tore down swaping axles..!

It's easy like YJ4ROX said take some 2.5x2.5x1.4 square stock and use a small paint can or something that has the same diamater as you axle tube to trace out a semicircle on both sides (make sure both sides are aligned though) and use a torch or plasma or a cutting wheel what ever ya got......I did mine with the torch and it took about 5 minutes to make them...Just had to clean up the mounting surfaces for a snug fit. Then drill a hole for your spring center pin.

I think I made mine 6 inches long.

You've said the point is not to add lift, so is it to control axle wrap? I didn't think the longer perches helped that much with axle wrap. :confused:

Most of the time spring pad failure is due to loose u-bolts because of stretch or new springs and they never got retightend. Go buy some Warrior Products ones and add a plate to the top if you feel you must but I say just keep an eye on the u-bolts to be sure they stay tight.
