Perch Mod Discussion

any idea where to get a hold of a torque wrench with that capacity?

I just bought an impact wrench with a max torque of 425 ft lbs. and held it on the bolt for a short while. Then followed up with the same, 2 weeks later.

I too feel every bump, pot hole, ect. (Mid perch) mostly on the drivers side. I thought it was due to a poor alignment job, my steering wheel isn't straight, which ****** me off. Please keep us posted on what you find.

Ask RPG, they had one, and the handle was 4 ft long...

Does anybody know of anyone that does perch mods in the Midland/odessa Texas area?

I am doing my second truck, I am here in Midland and can do it for you.
I got the alignment worked out too.

Maybe over-inflated tires ?

I had my truck on mid perch for over 40,000 miles and it felt softer than bottom but at the same time it felt more controlled. Better dampened. I'm now on top as of last week and still my ride is very comfortable and not jittery over bumps or road cracks. I have driven trucks on top perch before and it was jittery and kinda jumpy over stuff that normally wouldn't even phase the suspension. Mine rides just like its on mid, except a little higher.
But my truck is a mutant.

Here's a question, do the screws and scabs use the same coils? I'm wondering if my truck was built on a Thursday before a holiday and the wrong coils were put on.

Whtrapta I've been on top perch to and it's smoooooooth but then again I have UCA's and 37's so that could help a little haha

As for your question huck no they don't use different springs they come from fox fully assembled and go on both scab and screws. I watched ultimate factories haha I saw them make a raptor it was pretty bad ass actually
