Any good companies making these? I see $30 or so a pair for them from random jeep companies etc...



Id rather support a company that is a vendor here if possible. NO ALUMINUM. I need them for my rear axle which has ruff stuff spring perches and plates/u bolts.

It was just a quick google search. I hadn't looked into there applications. They werent that much cheaper. Was just tryin to give ya some $hit :D
 
Yah fock that lol. Those were welded on to NOT come off.
 
You get what you pay for. Kert's pieces are well made and solid steel. What angle do you need? I think I've got a set of DIY4X 10* laying around that I pulled off after I changed my setup.

More like 4 to 5 degrees.


I mr. clean here make mine for the front axle for free at a machine shop, so I had never looked at pricing before.
 
keep in mind when you rotate your pinion up your d-shaft will rotate up as well, how much is almost directly proportional to the length of the driveshaft vs the pinion length (from the tube centerline).

Also keep in mind, you don't need to weld the inside of the spring perch to the axle! :whistle:

I think that's the problem he rotated the pinion too much then welded the perches. I believe he will be shimming the pinion down.

Yep, I'm pretty sure some people told him to point it straight at the t-case :whistle:
