I'm getting ready to replace my rear shocks and springs (110lb.) Where would the best position for the perch be?

i think i have mines set on the 3rd from last setting, but then i've got 140lb welt springs.

Ditto for me. 3rd from the last meaning third from the bottom.

So the stiffer the spring the lower the perch?

no... different springs are different lengths... I had to play with mine... I started with them on the 2nd from bottom, had to move up 2 just to keep the tire from scraping...
