1977 Ford Bronco rear ended 9" rebuild
#1
I'm moving on to my next phase of my project. I picked up both axles out of storage this past weekend. They haven't seen sunlight or rain in two years until this morning. My front axles thanked me by spewing axle oil all over the back of my truck and onto my beautiful driveway.

Anyways I would like to move the rear axle back 1". The factory perches are small as we all know. I've been looking hard at the various perches that RuffStuff has to offer. I could do it the simple way and replace the old perches with bigger perches that would allow me the 1" I want. But I'm turned on by their U Bolt'less Perch Kits! I don't want to go beyond 2" bc I feel it adds stress to the welds as it hangs forward instead of on center of the axle. So that kinda rules out their 2+ Perch Kit as you can move it back 3". So that leaves me with their U-Bolt Eliminator Perch Kit. Not much in the description but I think it will allow me to move it back 1", but not 2".

Trying to get interest back on this website. I do post a good bit on CB's website but my roots are on here. So hopefully I will get all kinds of ideas from Grand Poohbahs and Gurus this website desperately misses!
