In the tech article for the swap it mentions below that 'i can buy them from an off road shop'

Where can I find/order these from?

Also, the spring perchs are fine because I was going to flip my rear to lower it anyways, is this correct?

Shock Mounts:

The Explorer shocks mount in a different location than those on a Ranger.

You'll have to have new shock mounts welded on and can buy them from an off-road shop. I had the shock mounts welded on at 40-degrees. The mounts were welded on with a 3-3/4 inch space between them and the spring pads.

Hell. You can make your own shock mount tabs easily, somthing like this:

And if you are lowering your truck by flipping the axle over the leaves, then yes you can leave the perches.
 
i used my old spring perches off the explorer axle and i used the shock mounts off of my ranger axle.
