A few people asked for pictures when i did my SAO conversion. So here are some pics and explanations.
First step clean up the area where the new perch will be welded. I used a flap disk.
[Broken External Image]:
Set the new perch in place. I got the extra large perches to eliminate axle wrap, they are about 8" long, and real beefy..

Next step is to place a jack under the pinion shaft and get the stock perches at zero degress.

Then you place the degree finder on the new perches and get them to zero degrees.
[Broken External Image]:
Then it is time for the fun stuff WELDING!! Burn them new perches onto the axle.
[Broken External Image]:
After this paint them and reinstall the leafs. And you just gained about 5-6" of lift, that will flex great and is very cheap.
