need leaf spring perches
I just bought a 77 3/4 ton parts truck for my 67 3/4 ton (axle swap, and power steering swap) does anybody sell new leaf spring perches for the rear axle, and new shock mounts also, or do I reuse the existing ones. Thanks

Re: need leaf spring perches
true, they were about 1/2" or so taller than stock. I can measure if needed...

Re: need leaf spring perches
I used the Mopar perches too. The center bolt hole was too big. I had to make a bushing.
