Flip kits are a piece of cake. You can buy new perches, round U-bolts and make a square bottom plate. Or buy new perches, cut off your old ones and reuse the stock u-bolts/plate.
Here is how I did mine retaining the original spring perch incase I ever want to go back stock.
*note* center hole has not been drilled in lower plate yet. but was drilled prior to installation.
If you want any help doing yours and your caltrac build let me know. It has been on my list of things to do for a while.

Thanks Zach!! That's pretty much exactly what I had in mind but I may have the bottom plates wedge cut to achieve a certain pinion angle. I've already got the cal-tracs. I was going to build some for the ext cab that worked better but it seems the ones out of the box work well on reg cabs due to the wheelbase difference. I guess I'd mainly need the perches and U bolts? The bottom plates come with the kit from calvert if I'm not mistaken
I've got a kit for a 2/4, but after talking to Scott @ Calert Racing, he's going to swap me for a set of flip kit rear mounts.

Just get the perches from jegs/summit http://www.jegs.com/i/Mopar+Performa...20074/10002/-1 and the U-bolts from the auto parts store. Total cost ~$30
This style must be welded to the axle.
