Several retailers sell them. They will all work as long s they are for 3" axel tubes. Summit and Mancinci for example.

the mopar/ferd perch

you can always get a new spring bolt the size you need from napa and have it longer than needed to pull the spring pack together,then cut it off and peen the end to lock the nut down.

You could use a bushing to use the perches w the larger hole and have not seen the 2 types side by side to see if there's a major quality difference tho 1 is a fair amt cheaper than the other. You are aware those SS springs are reportedly going to ride very rough.

Get the perches from Calvert Racing(the cal tracs people). They are not priced bad and they are 100% better than any stock style perch. They catch 180* of the tube so there is no chance of them coming off.
