You'll be fine w/ 31's under a MJ. It's not made of plastic.
I'll also have two full sets of spare 35 shafts.Lawn Cher' said:
Gonna have to go and get some spare fronts though. I've decided to put them all in big pieces of PVC pipe and secure them under the bed rails. Easy and protected access.
Seeing as I have two set's of shaft, I might do donuts:roll:
I know it's gonna be the hella fun in the winter time though

I love manches... I wanna do a build up one of these days
oh, so to bring this back up, Anyone know where to find stock spring perches?
I've call the dealer, a local spring shop, just about everywhere locally. Every place on the net says that the perches give lift, but in my case that would lower me. I just want a set of stock MJ spring perches damnit.
And who wants to just buy me this:

So I stop asking stupid questions.

IIRC, Eagle posted a part # for some HD stock perches a while back. I think they were like $10 or so. (See avatar.) I ordered them from my local dealer. I then decied that I would go with some like Gil used from Great Lake Offroad. HTH

Sweet.
Your welcome.:kissyou:
ok, another newb question. The tube diameter on the D35 is 2.6" correct?
Those Mopar mounts are for axles with 3" diameter or "similar" How close is considered similar?
I'm not afraid to grind a bit to get them to fit, but if the holes already too big I can't really add metal now can I?

F-it, I just ordered two sets of those perches, at 8.00 a pair it will be worth it if I fawk it up the first time.
I'll make it work.
Trading the axleshafts out of my old d-30 to have the gears and perches setup on the new d35. Neighbor with the TJ has a friend with an older XJ, he needs spare fronts

If the arc in the perch is larger radius than the axle tube, it will still have a tangent point and give plenty of space for filling in with weld. Its easy!

Now, put them on the axle.
THat and my gear install are going on this weekend.Haleyes said:
I started prepping the front axle a bit tonight. New TRE's all the way round in the steering. Tried getting the JKS discos on, but the stock swaybar connect bolt is a mother. Tried beating on it with a BFH but didn't want to bend the bracket on the axle. Gonna have to go and buy a hefty puller and see if I can't pop them out.

If you're not going to reuse those bolts, grind off the head, then put the nut back on and tighten it until it pops the bolt loose. Can't hurt to try that before you go spend the money on a puller.87manche said:
