The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline Spring perch on my 1951 3100 - converting to open drive

It's difficult to see the actual distance or height of your pivot point in your picture. I believe you could modify a spring perch to sit flush with your axel housing without to much work. By removing material from the perch mount and fitting it snug on your axel housing you could establish your ride height prior to any welding. The key is to address your driveshaft angle before any welding is completed, this will eliminate your need to add shims later. Remember when welding not to allow current to flow through any bearings, attach your ground as close to the perch mount as possible.
