I would go with the standard U bolt type because:
- If the threads seize (as they often do) you can easily cut the U bolts if they have to be removed. The plate design, not so easy.
- It looks like the perches sit higher on the bolt type, possibly adding more height (lift) to the rear of the truck. The U bolt style stacks higher than the stock perches, but appears to be lower than the bolted style.
- That offset design appears to be very poorly thought out as the bolts are directly in line with the top of the axle tube. Bolt length would be critical.
- You will want to get the larger U bolt plate with the 3 holes if going with the perches in the 1st pic. That is the route I'd go.
A 1" stretch is probably about all you could do without getting into the gas tank/rear crossmember.
