Adjustable rear spring perch insert for a 4 or 5 inch spring?
Does anyone have or know where to get a adjustable spring perch for the rear suspension? It allows you to run a 4-5 inch spring that can be bought in different load rates. Anyone?

I have made some custom brackets for the upper rear spring can so in the future (someday when I get the extra money) mount coilover shocks in the rear. What these brackets do is they will distribute the weight load of the car that will now rest onto the weak upper shock i-bolt mount back to the can area where the original coilspring rests holding the weight of the car. Diagram below.
