Anybody know a good source to buy new spring perches? I haven't been able to find them anywhere but i think it was ballistic fab

The truck 9" and the explorer 8.8 are both 3.25 tubes? anybody know for sure? I might just cut the original mounts off and reweld them.

If I remember right myself they are 3.25".summit racing has some, not sure of sizes they have.I have bought them there before for different type rears. If I were you I'd just grind them off the old housing and reuse them. Just make sure you get them back at the right angle for the pinion angle.
