Default Spring Wedges or Relacate Perch?

I received my Full Traction spring shims/wedges. Are they a good fix and are they durable or should I relocate my factory perch?

Thank you.

If the wedges straighten your springs that is an easy fix.

Wedges worked good for me until a new rear DS and pinion adjustment!

As stated above, as soon as the aftermarket DS comes into play the wedges are useless...at least they for me anyway.

I'd go with new or adjustable perches. Wedges did nothing for me.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I am going to reinvestigate the difficulty in cutting off the stock perches and relocating them to where they are level when the pinion is aligned with the DS. If it looks achievable and the local ORW has some mounts in stock to mitigate my risk, I'll just move them and be done with it.

I doubt you will be able to reuse them once you cut them off..... if you want to go cheaper, cut them off and buy the weld on perches from Teraflex or someone else.
