Maybe I'm looking at this completely wrong, expo 8.8" without rewelding spring perch
Okay, so I've already had my expo 8.8 perches rewelded, then I found this:

Now, couldnt the same basic idea apply, I mean everything done here except the opposite.
Use the flip bracket over the expo axle to sit in the perch. Instead of here where it goes under the axle.
Maybe I make no sense but I though it was an interesting idea, and I'm probably so wrong it's ridiculous, but not looking at the axles side by side, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Yeah this would work. But what about the shock mounts still needing to be welded on? Explorers mount their shocks to the leaf spring plate. Sorta defeats the purpose of using a non-welded spring perch.
My 2 cents says do it right the first time and reweld the perches on top, along with shock mounts...even if you don't own one, its not hard to find somebody that does (and likes beer).
