does anybody know the distance from perch to perch on a stock 1988 samuari i got 38" center to center just checking i dont want my axle to be off thanks

anything i have to drill these holes soon need a measurment

nobody knows a answer to this question ?

Sorry Bryan.

While there is no such thing as a stupid question, there are, occasionally, questions whose answer appear to be found in the questioner's query.

If you measured 38 inches and you don't indicate anything unusual about your axle, then the answer is - obviously - 38 inches.

So, a better question might be:

"I am not sure that my perches are OEM. They look like they were grinded off and moved. The distance between the centers (or the distance between the inside edges) of the perches are 38 inches and the width of the perch is "xx" inches.  Is this correct?"

Filling in a few more details on the nature of your question is liable to cause the readers of posts (both here and elsewhere) to wonder what the actual answer is and go out in a driving snowstorm with a tape measure and find out for you.

I hope this helps!

yeah sorry about that. i am installing toyota axles in my 1988 samuari and i just wanted to make sure that the width between springs in the rear is 38 inchs center to center so i know where to mount my perches on my toyota axle. sorry for any confusion that my first post may have caused

Okay, there wasn't a snowstorm here but I dove under the Samurai anyway after getting home from work. 

Here is what I found:

Front distance between spring registering holes on the OEM Perches = 28.5 inches center-to-center plus or minus a half inch.

Rear distance between the OEM perch holes = 37 inches center-to-center. plus or minus a half inch.

I used a tape measure unaided and that accounts for the sloppy tolerances 

Hope this helps!

perfect thank you very much for your time and checking this for me i would have been a inch off if it wasent for you thanks
