Stevep Posted February 14, 2020 Report Posted February 14, 2020 What did everyone do about spring perches? Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted February 14, 2020 Report Posted February 14, 2020 take your old perches off carefully or visit a facility that sells perches for trailer springs, Norther Hydraulics and TSC both come to mind, I believe you can also get these from Summit Racing... Quote
Stevep Posted February 14, 2020 Report Posted February 14, 2020 We had also thought about trailer perches. Thanks. Quote
Young Ed Posted February 14, 2020 Report Posted February 14, 2020 I don't recall where I ordered mine from but I was able to find perches for a 3" tube with the proper width. The one difference they had was the center hole was larger so I had to put a spacer on that. Quote

I have been in the automotive business for over 40 years and I have never hears WMS before but I usually do not do conversions. I bought my spring perches from Amazon. I hadn't heard about WMS before either until I started to look into converting mine over to a Cherokee diff. It became pretty apparent that the important dimension is where do the wheels end up. Normally you would want the same WMS as your original axle unless you were looking to make a change in that area. Quote

Stevep Posted February 15, 2020 Report Posted February 15, 2020 If I found the correct thread, I didn't see anything about the rear, just the T-5. Quote
