Opinions on how much you like the dogdge spring perches.
I think Nolen is running them and I know Woody is.
Any suggestions? I made my last pair but am getting lazy in my old age.

I used them on the rear of my fj60 & we used them front & rear on my brothers fj40. They are deffinately stout, but may be a little short. Sure are ALOT easier than making your own!! if you want you can come by & check them out :rolleyes:

work good and they are cheap. just bought a few sets yesterday for $10 a pair. Mopar Perfomance Parts- P4120074.
I use them on all my spring overs and cut and turns. I do like to make my own rears though. (a little longer with a shock tab)

Last one's I had like that got morphed real bad due to axle wrap...they were ugly and dented...went WMS and won't look back of course I also put on a wrap bar too...

BUT, these moroso perches look to be less rounded, and probably a bit better for our apps.. at $19.95.

Know where they are in your computer, then click on "browse" then double click on the jpg you want to attach.
I usually upload these type directly from the 3.5" floppy which my digital camera uses.
This way I don't save crap on my hard drive...

I've had no complaints with the Dodge perches. IMO, anything less than about 8-10" long isn't gonna help much with wrap, and with my wrap bar I've yet to have a problem. They are cheap, easy to install, and easy to find. Also IMO, too long a perch will reduce your up-travel as well.

I think the uploading thing was a problem with the board yesterday, and is fixed now.

Maybe I'll make some 10" long perches, go with some matching 6" high x 10 long" blocks, and I'll be ready for 42's with no axle wrap! :flipoff2:

But I'll agree wholeheartedly.. "Anti-wrap bars... Don't spring-over without them"
