so I am in the process on going full width and ran into a problem with the front axle. I am running leafs in the front and my center pin distance is 30.5. The spring perches are 2.5 in wide, this puts them at a overall width of 31.75 at the long point and 29.25 at the narrow point.
The front axle I got is a 44 of a j10. The passenger side perch will weld right up, but the drivers side perch is on gong to be on top of where the axle tube goes into the diff housing. This perch will need to be about 2.5in tall because of the way the diff housing is cast.
Should I try to grind down as much as I can without weaking the housing to lower them, or make the pasenger perch match the height? Will I run into any problems with spring perches that high on the front axle?
