Description

2+ Perch Kit 3.25"-3.5" Axle Tube

Extend Your Wheelbase Without Touching Your Spring or Shackle Hangers

The 2+ Perch Kit is a smart solution for anyone looking to shift their axle 1"–3" forward or back without the hassle of relocating spring or shackle hangers. Built with 1/2" thick threaded wings and our proven RuffStuff U-bolt plate design, this setup ensures strength, simplicity, and precision alignment on spring-over applications. The extended slots in the perch allow you to dial in the exact wheelbase you're after for better clearance, handling, and performance on- or off-road.

This version is specifically designed for axles with 3.25"–3.5" axle tubes, commonly found on beefier 1-ton applications. It's an ideal fit for anyone upgrading to a heavy-duty rear end and needing a clean, weld-on perch solution that adds stretch without adding unnecessary complexity.

Whether you're building for rock crawling, towing, or high-speed desert work, the 2+ Perch Kit helps you fine-tune your wheelbase while maintaining rock-solid spring retention.

Key Features:

  • Part Number: R1029
  • Wheelbase Extension: Gain 1"–3" without relocating hangers
  • Axle Tube Fitment: Designed for 3.25"–3.5" diameter axle tubes
  • Application: For spring-over setups only
  • Threaded Wings: 1/2" thick plates with tapped 5/8"-18 threads for secure bolt-in adjustment
  • Fully welded and ready to install

Kit Includes:

  • (2) Spring Perches – Fits 3.25"–3.5" axle tubes, 2.5" spring width
  • (2) Threaded tabs (1/2" plate) for bolt adjustment
  • (2) U-bolt plates for 2.5" springs
  • (8) 5/8"-18 x 4" Grade 8 bolts

Installation Tip: Test-fit the bolts to your spring pack before trimming. Torque to ~90 ft/lbs and use Loctite to prevent loosening. Designed exclusively for spring-over applications.

If you're running larger axles and want the added adjustability of a stretch without cutting up your mounts, this kit is your ticket to smarter, stronger suspension geometry.

The right fit

I bought this kit for my 04 Silverado K1500 crew cab pickup. The guy I bought it from had two lift blocks stacked, which I knew wasn't safe, but I liked the stance. So I welded 3/16 flat 4"��x7"�� to the inside which gave me about a 5 3/4"�� lift. I welded directly to the existing spring perch and it looks and drives awesome. I've taken it down the bumpiest road and it's perfect. Thanks Ruffstuff for providing the ultimate quality and durability in off road performance !!

This kit is super stout. I like the super thick (1/2"��) tabs with the tapped holes to accept the hardware. Unlike others where the perch needs to be over 4"�� wide so nuts can go on the underside, Ruffstuff simplified the concept and produces top tier products. This is the second time I've used this kit, both times with soft leaf springs and around 450hp and it helps reduce axle wrap too.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND this kit.
