8.25 Leaf Perches

[martin809]

Any advice on leaf spring perchec. I will stay SUA. on an 8.25

What size perches should I get.

Staying SUA I would use stock replacement perches from the dealership. They're MUCH cheaper than you'd imagine.

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.

How about Ruffstuff?

Yep. You can get the simple swap kit and it comes with everything you need. I used it on my project.

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.

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.

The ones from the Mopar Performance Catalog are heavier-duty and cost less than half as much.

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.

Thanks for the replies. I will go stock from the dealership. I will try and start a build log soon and show my progress.

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.

My truck still has a rake... I don't know about lowering the truck. I used a 8.25 with Ruff Stuff perches.
