I need a pair of spring perches to weld onto a Dana 35. Mopar Performance Catalog has them but only for a 3" axle. The Dana 35 tubes are smaller. Anybody got a source for perches sized to fit the D35?

Rawbrown said:rubicon express has there anti-wrap perches. about 30$ a set. I put them on every axle I build. they give about 1/2" of lift also...

i make all my perches out of box tube, it's cheap and easy

I can't read you, Beezil, I'm too busy ignoring you.
I'm not a welder. Looks to me like at the outer ends if I use the 3" size perches from Mopar I'll have about a 1/8" gap to make up. Can that big a gap be filled in with weld material?

you'll be fine......
if the 3" perches are the only ones you can find easily, then my all means, grab them.
the perch will touch the tube from the midpoint, and the gap will widen from a wee sliver to an eigth toward the ends, but there really is no "gap" to fill, if the welder starts at the midpoint and works toward the ends, the bead will flow against the bead, and into the minimal space. welding the backside of the previous weld will be very easy.....NO gap what-so-ever.
