mvusse Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Staying SUA I would use stock replacement perches from the dealership. They're MUCH cheaper than you'd imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garvin Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 x2 on the dealership ones, they're about the same price as aftermarket (even cheaper than some of them). You'll need 3" axle tube perches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timeless Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 How about Ruffstuff? http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/SU-PERCH.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjrev10 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 How about Ruffstuff? http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/SU-PERCH.html Yep. You can get the simple swap kit and it comes with everything you need. I used it on my project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I used Ruffstuff Specialties when I went SOA. And I will again on my next axle. For staying SUA it is too much money, and their perch will drop the back of the truck down lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garvin Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 RuffStuff makes great stuff and has a great customer service but you will have issues trying to run the anti-wrap leaf perches on SUA. The first link to the perches will work or you can chop the edges down on the anti-wrap ones you get from the kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 How about Ruffstuff? http://www.ruffstuff...g/SU-PERCH.html The ones from the Mopar Performance Catalog are heavier-duty and cost less than half as much. http://www.mopar.com/assets/pdf/performance/catalog/Steering_Suspension_&_Brakes.pdf Scroll to the top of page 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I do not agree that the Mopar Performance perches are stronger than Ruffstuff's 3/16" steel fully boxed ones. But I would go with them because the Ruffstuff Specialties perches are overkill where a much cheaper and plenty strong quality alternative exists.

martin809 Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 Thanks for the replies. I will go stock from the dealership. I will try and start a build log soon and show my progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mopar perches I linked to are not "factory stock." They are not Jeep parts, they're from the Mopar Performance Catalog. If he knows that, and dealer parts guy can find them in seconds. If you tell him they're for a Comanche or a Cherokee, he'll spend a week looking and never find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a 8.25 with Ruff Stuff perches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
