Thanks for the pic. I really need one from the back or front.

The top and bottom plates are a bit flexed and I want to see if it is the same on others.

Thanks

So they are bent? Did you over tighten them? If you torque them to specs they won't bend but if you over tighten them they do bend.

I torqued them to specs and they are bent a little so I want to see if others are having this same problem.

DO you happen to have a picture of yours from the rear?

Thanks

I do not have one from the front or back and I am in the middle of swapping out the 9" for a 60 so will be awhile before I have them back on.

Mines bent a little from torqueing it down (driver side). It never reached the final torque spec, I questioned the calibration of my torque wrench (click type), I switched to a beam type and it was the same so I left it, It was close enough the final spec. for me. I planned to use wider spring perches but that meant buying more parts than I figure I would just build them but that meant more fab time. I wanted them installed so I just bolted them on after relocating the stock perches a few degrees.

I recommend that you replace the spring perch. I had to adjust the pinion angle and in the process i replaced my perch with larger ones so the rocker had more support. I also used a longer perch to help prevent axle wrap
