Your doing it to gain ground clearance?

4x4 and that was the plan. What is that plate right on the bottom of the axle?

There are spring perches on top. Just the lower ones are the stock 2wd ones that were welded to the axle tube are there since they don't get in the way, they actually helped aline the new upper mounts when first installing them.
