What is the spring perch

I cut a round sleeve a little bigger diameter than the top of my jack and then welded a radius pc on top of that to match the radius of my axle, that way it spreads out the weight and also prevents the jack from slipping off the axle tube and basically makes a cradle for the axle to sit on while on top of my jack. I also have a spring over axle.

Old Buscuit has his springs mounted under the axle. My springs are on top of the axle,so I purchased a spring perch (see pic in post above), place in under the spring between the u bolts and jack from there.. Using the spring perch this way keeps from concentrating the weight in one spot on the axle, instead it spreads the weight around the circumference of the axle tube.

That may have been my post. U write that I welded spring perches to the bottom of my axles and attached shocks to them.

A person could use a U-bolt to install them just so they have a great jack point.

the idea is to jack from directly under the point where the weight is sitting on top of the axle...

the place where the axle attaches to the springs with a large U bolt is the spring perch
