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
Even going with the IRO bracket... punching the old bolts out and dropping new in is still the way to go. Even just to install that bracket.

well i know that i already saw the gap and my hand fits to get to it and i am going to weld it also.

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