The only one I know is ECE's trailing arm mount. I wonder if you could modify them to work?

you're talking about the weld-on perches, right? I think CPP sells them in different diameters for different rear ends- I could be wrong though- check out their website.

OK, I looked at their website- they do have them-BUT only show them for 3" axle tubes- so maybe contact Jeff and see if they can make you something?

Dont forget about the panhard bar which the factory rear end has a bung cast onto the houseing.... you can always go to a weld on panhard bar but it has to be in there. If you are going to a different 10 bolt or 12 bolt, we do have a panhard bar bracket that relocates the bar further down to correct its positioning for a lowered ride height. The axle brackets are gravey... you could even get in touch with Mosier for some replacments to weld onto a different rear end.
