I don't recall where I ordered mine from but I was able to find perches for a 3" tube with the proper width. The one difference they had was the center hole was larger so I had to put a spacer on that.

What did you do for shock mounts and spring perches?

I have been in the automotive business for over 40 years and I have never hears WMS before but I usually do not do conversions.

 

 

I bought my spring perches from Amazon.  

 

I hadn't heard about WMS before either until I started to look into converting mine over to a Cherokee diff.  It became pretty apparent that the important dimension is where do the wheels end up.  Normally you would want the same WMS as your original axle unless you were looking to make a change in that area.

What rear did you use and was it going in a WC 1/2 ton?
