Need some help identifying some parts. 46 1/2 ton rear end. Came with the helper spring kit. Have removed all of the suspension and am installing a single spring pack. On the housing are these “pads”. I believe they were to locate the spring perch collars. They are riveted through to the interior of the tube. My thought is I need to reuse the collars as my perches. I haven’t come across much, if any info on these helper spring kits. Otherwise I remove the pads, weld up the holes, and weld on new perches? Thoughts or information? TIA.
