4.jpg I wasn't entirely sure if my leaf spring perches were the same distance apart than what my truck used. Ever time I measured it seemed close but still off by about an inch. wasn't sure if I was just measuring bad, which is a big possibility, or if I could get away with it if it was off an inch. Decided to just get a new set of perches from Ruffstuff just in case.

I cut off the old perch on each side using a simple angle grinder. just have to be carefull and avoid cutting the axle tube. even if does it can be welded back up to patch. I just cut the parch the best I could then used a mini-sledge hammer to bust if the rest of the way off

Once busted off then grind down any remaining weld on the tube that can be in the way
