Yes brian I am with you on that too, part #5458 is plain as day and it's what you posted on your 2nd pic.

WFO has a nice looking u bolt flip kit.

Perch (as I see it) refers to a plate on top of the rear springs that the u-bolts pass thru.

Look at 5796 in this 2WD pic. Notice the u-bolts go thru it from the bottom to the top.

The u-bolts lay on top of 5348, then pass thru 5A316 perch below the axle tube.

Yes ND and we are talking about a front axle, You know brian you can use the rear pt# 5796, just have to address a adjustable steering link arm clearance issue if using a D44 for the front. But with the D60 you are running and you got your cross over lined out it might not be an issue.

I used a rear one to do my front u bolt flip.

No **** Sherlock! I only posted the 2WD rear pic so the OP could see what 5796 looks like in comparison to 5348.

If you are going to replace u-bolts just make sure they are OEM or better in bolt dia. and strength.

I saw co, but you edited after I posted. Pic wasn't there when I posted. :P

yeah, 5/8 ubolts seem to be the target. I may still try to make the plates and get ubolts locally so I don't have to wait for them, but I do like that kit.

77, I wondered about that. I don't have a spare set to use but might look for one.

Well, I was all set to order the WFO ubolt flip kit but guess I'll look elsewhere. I'm ok with the $85 for the four bolts and two plates, but $41 to mail to me,, they are out of their gourds. I know for a fact they will fit in a $14/if it fits priority box from the post office. They must do a lot of business on ebay, giving a good price then jacking you on shipping.

Anyone know a better place to get a ubolt flip? Otherwise I'm just going back stock.

Call em tomorrow. Talk to Trevor about it. They aren't the type of guys who would gouge you on shipping.

Yep, call them. They use usps as their shipper. I'd bet its a mistake on the price.
