I was going to make my own mounting pads that will replace the Plate on top of the leaves that the U bolts strap to the axle.
I'd like to see what you come up with. The bottom mount has a little more complex shape to it but could be fabbed up with the required lift. I'm assuming you would weld flat pieces of steel into the U-shape as opposed to bending a single piece?
I was thinking the upper section would be easier since you only have to bridge the gap between the top mount and the plate on the bag. Both being flat surfaces, something as simple as a 4" x 6" section of rectangular tube steel would work...but might look like a redneck/ghetto hack job.
