That would be spring hangers. The perches are the parts that weld to the top of the axle for the springs to sit on. I know folks have made Chevy hangers on their own, should be information on the Chevy spring FAQ on the Pirtate4x4.com forum. I think that 3.5" square tubing (0.250 wall) is used for the hanger, makes 3" inside width.

Trail Gear also sells them. I just put a set on my frame last week. They look beefy but only wheeling them will tell.

I was wondering about perches, wasnt sure what they were called though. I didnt remember seeing anything in the FAQ about them. I reused my perches from the stock set up and got procomp 3 inch lift shocks and they are still 3 inches short. Is it standard procedure to weld on perches to the axel housing? or should I just get longer shocks?

A spring perch does not care what kind of spring is sitting on top of it.

A spring perch will not affect the length of the spring or the length of the shocks.

Maybe you are talking about shock mounts:

And for the shocks, best approach is to measure the compressed and extended length for the shocks you need then pick something that matches those requirements:
