Coil spring cups/plates

Ok, I have a 1972 blazer (leaf spring rear end) that I'm converting to 2wd, coil springs with trailing arms. I'm going to buy the crossmember and trailing arms from Early classic. the coil springs mount or sit on the trailing arms and the other side or top part sits??????????????? Does someone sell a spring perch or cup that the top of the coil springs sits in? Does someone have a pattern I can make one? Any help or pics would be great.

Thanks

No problem, I wish there had been some info where to buy brackets, but it looks pretty easy to build yourself.

Good luck, Rg
