Spring Perches from Ruffstuff, Perches that Fit!

[Gravel Maker]

Spring perches, pretty basic, but made in 3 widths (2", 2 1/2", & 2 3/4") & 4 axle diameters for a perfect fit and not a "good enough" fit. With 3 pin placement options and long enough to help in controlling axle wrap. I'm only going to show you 1 perch here, we make 8 different perches and are adding 2 more next week. Why so many? Because the perch should be made to fit the axle and the ubolt plate, you shouldn't be made to make it fit!

They are mostly 1/4" thick but we do have 2 Heavy Duty models 3/8" thick!

Strength, Quality, & Value! Words to live by.....

It only makes sense.....

To buy the ones sized to fit your axle......Why waste time grinding.....

Do you make them for a 4" axle tube?

Been a long day away from the computer.......

All of it spent in the shop......

Anyway, let me clear up a few things and answer a couple of questions.

First off we use the USPS Falt Rate boxes whenever possible so shipping on these is 9.45 and we can fit a bunch more in the box too.

All of our perches are $28 and we only take orders from our website, can't even begin to keep up with orders from PM's.

We actually make them for 5 axle diameters but 4" is not one of them, we make 3 3/8", 3 1/4", 3", 2 3/4", & 2 1/2". Sorry about the 4", we just can't make them for a fair price in the low quantities the 4" demand.

I think that answers them all, any more I might answer?

D'oh, guess my age is catching up to me or i'm going blind.

Age.....

D'oh, guess my age is catching up to me or i'm going blind.

I like to think "I'm old and fat but at least I'm bald!"

It only makes sense.....

To use the right ones and not have to make do......

Check out the D60/14 Bolt perch

Kind of cool way to do it....

 

[Gravel Maker]

And it works too!

Check for these as part of the Axle Simple Swap kits!

Any chance I can get these with a little extra height so i can ditch the zero rates?

Thx

 

[Gravel Maker]

I have thought of making a series that are taller.....

But it is a pretty big commitment, the way we make these (2-300 pair at a time) is the only way to make them affordable. The cost of making just a few is too high. How high would you guys like them? They are 7/8" off the axle to the spring mounting surface now.

 

[mo]

I'll measure the height I'm at now with the zero rate on there tonight, but about 1" maybe 1 1/4" taller.

I understand about needing to make them in quantity, maybe if some others are interested as well??

I need to replace mine and would like to go with the longer perches to help the wrap a little, but with a zero rate on there it won't really help much, unless i get longer zero rate as well, hmmm...

thx

Perches are only needed if you don't......

Like Link Suspensions!

Wow talk about fast service I just ordered them thursday and they should up today!! My only question is why is the center pin hole so large? I thought it needed to fit snug?

 

[Gravel Maker]

The hole should be 17/32"

Do you have something different? When we started making these we made them 5/8" which was a misstake, long ago we changed them to 17/32" so they could fit over a standard 1/2" pin with 1/64" room. We sold all of the larger hole perches to 1 customer, or so I thought.....

 

[TWISTEDJACK]

They are definately 5/8" holes

 

[Gravel Maker]

I will replace them for you.....

They have been 17/32" since the second batch.
