there added the dot things lol.
i am set on doing the tops with the IRO bracket and now i am looking for advice on the bottom bracket connected to the axle.
if you understand what i am talking about. the mount is 3 inchs long if you cut it at 2 inches and form the axle round shape on the cut piece and place it about 1-2 inches to the inside of the original mount weld it. then make gussets on each side to give it strength and add a bottom plate to keep it from catching stuff. now on the rear axle there is nothing lower then the diff that will catch anything and you can still have about the same amount of travel up and down

i have decided not to move the lower brackets and leave them and just put a skid on the bottom.
