Patented HD Axle Perches. Universal design fits nearly every application. Available to fit the most common axle tube diameters; 2.25″, 2.5″, 2.75″, 3″, 3.25″ and 3.5″
WELDING ONTO AXLE: Pinion angle recommendation is -2 to -4 degrees when used with CalTracs. NOTE: This is the angle of the pinion in relation to the angle of the output shaft of the transmission, NOT the driveshaft. Add the angle of the pinion yoke to the angle of the output shaft with the vehicle sitting at rest with weight on the tires.
