Howdy,
I am looking for a set of axel mounts new for controll arm setup for my 67. I plan on lifting the truck by moving the axel to the bottom and i figure all i need are new mounts and new u bolts.
I have looked but i cant find them. also what are they officially called perches?

you'd need to address the geometry of the panhard bar too// it should b as close to parrell to the axel as you can get it for proper operation

CPP and ECE sells the weld on axle perches for trailing arms.

I never thought about this!! I guess i will just have to make a new upper mount, maby even just make a new bar while i am at it. I assume it should be horizontal when down with proper weight on it. Would a longer bar perform better? I can easily turn new ends and eve use steel tubing with a adjustible end and lock nut.
