4004ever 11-26-2002, 08:54 AM Someone mentioned on this board that when doing a soa you can use dodge spring perches. For what dodge? Have you tried getting a parts counter guy to help you with perch dimensions? My first inclination is for a dana 60. But application is what they need when ordering. TIA Shaun woody 11-26-2002, 08:57 AM http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=82953&highlight=dodge+and+spring+and+perch The search button is your friend.... :D Also, mentioned about 50 times in different tech writeups on my site.... (tho I know the site is in "move mode" right now and a little wonky...) The Jerk 11-26-2002, 09:01 AM i belive they are just generic mopar pads! jiMMy TLCObsession 11-26-2002, 09:04 AM Or build some longer ones from box tubing and a hole saw. ALso Mudrak has some nice ones... The Dodge ones are cheap and easy, but too short and can exacerbate spring wrap.

I'll take the risk. The dodge perches part # 4120074 will cost about 10 bucks! Woody, thanks for the link.

Well, I'm taking credit for the first responder but also using the search to find it! :D Problem is, unless you are just weird, most of us don't keep these answers at our fingertips, so we need to search for it too... <insert names of 600+ PBB weirdos here, including me, who do keep some useless knowledge handy...> TLCObsession 11-26-2002, 09:44 AM Originally posted by The Jerk got wrap bar/traction aid? jiMMy Got that, but even so, doing longer perches helps... The mopar ones are pretty cheesy in a world where overbuilt gets respect... ranger 11-26-2002, 09:53 AM I make mine out of reciever tubing. This way I can custom cut them longer in the rear to give a little more length, helps counter act the axle wrap. Usually no more than 6" in lenth.:skull: 4004ever 11-26-2002, 10:21 AM wouldn't it make more sense to take the pre-built mopar perches and weld a 3" x 6" x 1/2" plate to the top of them? It just seems like less work that way. I don't have enough time to custom everything on this beast. ranger 11-26-2002, 10:39 AM Maybe so, but I tend to "overbuild" my stuff so I can go to hell, and make it back, with no worries!:D Toyota overbuilt the cruisers so I might as well keep up the tradition. It was just a suggestion....:skull: Eskimo 11-26-2002, 11:37 AM Originally posted by ranger Toyota overbuilt the cruisers so I might as well keep up the tradition. SO why did they take their heaviest vehicle and use smaller birfields in it, than in the lighter, 4-cylinder pickup truck? :flipoff2: ranger 11-26-2002, 11:44 AM Its an improvement over the ball joint type axles! But like every vehicle made there is always room for improvement....Just ask a h**p owner!:flipoff2: The Jerk 11-26-2002, 12:12 PM Originally posted by TLCObsession Got that, but even so, doing longer perches helps... The mopar ones are pretty cheesy in a world where overbuilt gets respect... helps with what? if your t-bar is done right perches wont make a difference on short springs. or long for that matter either. just my opinion on what ive seen! ironpig70 11-26-2002, 05:57 PM bought mine from summit $20 a pair shipped to my door i am using stock springs on 12 bolt rear. | |
