I'm building my perches for a spring over on my YJ and couldn't find any suitable 2.5" stock in the scrap pile. Is there any problem using 2" wide perches with 2.5" springs? The 2" perch would also solve the issue of grinding or using a offset perch on the D30 front (I know).

I searched and found lots on making them, just didn't know if this would be an issue.

you're going to let a 1/4" of spring hang over each side of the perch???:eek::eek:



























you'll be fine;)

I am running 2.5" wide springs on the original 2" perches on my CJ D30. It is sprung under currently, no problems so far...

I don't think it'll work. Don't ask why, I just don't think it will. ;)

See you Sunday for the Rockers.

I used to have 2.5" springs on 1 3/4" pads before I did my axle swap. You'll be fine, just make sure that your u-bolts are tight!
