I considered using those adapter perches when I did mine. Ended up just buying a set from the farm store and drilling my own holes to move the axle back. Super cheap way to do it. I think they were $10-$20.

believe getting the axle centered in wheel well takes something like 1.75” offset in the perch. My truck had been previously converted to open driveline and I didn’t want to screw with a new driveshaft. So I opted for less when drilling the hole….i think just an inch forward.
