I buy them at a trailer parts place. Measure your axle tube and they can sell you a pair cheap. Figure under 20 for the pair at the most.

I have a dana 70 HD which has 4 inch tubes. I think the Dana 70 uses different ones than a dana 70 hd. It shouldnt be hard to measure yours and see what they are.

Re: Rear axel Perches

I think I have read that it is 3.5", but im not sure if that is right or not. I know the Corp 14 bolts are 3 inch, and the dana 70hd is 4.

Re: Rear axel Perches

Uh, bigger tubes. Thicker tubes as well. I think gross weight for the dana 70 hd was 10,000 lbs.

buy them for 3.5 tubes... If they are not big enough use the victor wrench and open them up a bit. I used pads for 3 inch tubes and opened them up a bit for my dana 70 super duper heavy duty don't really care about weight spec's rear axle.... lmao
