Default recommendation on rear coil perch replace

Anyone cut off the rear axle coil perches and weld on new ones to correct for coil bow caused by lift? If so, what brand did you use? I see TF offers some and JB conversions makes some slick looking ones, though pricey ($180). I'm thinking on doing this mod soon so I'd like to hear from anyone whose done this and recommendations.

I just went with the JKS bolt on ones since they were the only ones out at the time. Plus I figured you can always take the bolts out and weld them in place later. However, now there are a bunch of options to choose from.

I too cut mine off and went with the JKS Adjustable Perches. Definitely worth it. They are more expensive but I like the fact that if I need to adjust them in the future I don't have to cut and re-weld anything.

Thanks for the replies. I like the idea of being able to adjust them but I don't think those will work with the track bar bracket I have. Anyone have pics of the JKS bolt-on perches installed?

What trackbar bracket do you have? It's pouring here or I'd go snap a shot for you.
