Why is a roller spring perch better than a stock perch?
Stock perches have rubber as the bushing between the perch and the perch-mounting shaft. The rubber does allow the perch to move, but not very well. The pressure required to move a rubber perch is immense which reduces responsiveness in the suspension in addition to creating more stress on the shocks. By replacing the rubber with roller bearings the suspension response is greatly improved and shock life is increased. Another advantage of our roller spring perches is easier shock and coil spring installation. Because our roller perches easily pivot, roller perch users will find it easier to install shocks as well. Shock mounts lineup easier with the shock tower caps and compressed coil springs will sit level on the roller perch greatly reducing installation effort. Drivers using a high performance shock like Koni adjustable shocks will notice that shock adjustment is easily done without moving the shock from the vechicle because of the reduced side load from the roller perch.
