Yea i think thats exactly what i need, I am planning to keep it SUA for now and didnt think about the length of the perch.... ugh
But i also think i need a new u-bolt plate that spaces the u-bolts closer to the spring pack/perch, and get rid of that u-shaped sleeve.
I've been waiting to pull...
Interesting stuff, yea this is all from the previous owner who lifted it a while back. That little metal shim is like an angling shim, i assume that was installed with the lift to tilt the diff up, but its too narrow and has twisted around on the pin
I think i just need to get rid of all that...
Thanks for everyones replies.
Yea i feel like it pretty sketchy to have 1/2" gap from the u-bolts to either side of the perch...
My leaf springs are 2.75" wide but theres a metal guard (see pic) around the leaves that makes the whole stack roughly 3.5" wide, thus the stock perch is the same...
Hey all, long time lurker, first post tho...
I'm swapping in a FZJ80 rear axle into my FJ62. I ordered new spring perches to weld on from trail gear, but comparing them to the stock perches, they are an inch slimmer. The stock spring perches are 3.5" wide and these new ones are 2.5".
Does it...
