Would this work?

I just had a welding shop bend me a length of 3/16" flat plate into chanel 3 1/8" inside measurement X 2 3/4" drops x 30" long.............I have to cut it to shackel lengths yet. Cost was 18.00 for this.

DOM tube welded into mounts. They have worked great under my rig. This also allows the use of the very common "H" style shackles.

Pretty sure that's what the hangers my 63" springs were on when I got them.
The Taco folks like to use them (the springs).
This guy gave up the SAS setup and scraped the project but they looked to be 1/4" wall/box tube/cut down, I don't see them on the Sky site but, well, we all know often sites get upgraded.

I am headed over to have the material bent in a few minutes. I sent you a PM on your shock mounts. I also need to know if you want me to cut the hangers to length and if you want the 2" spacers for the rear hangers, so as to level the springs out. I should be able to get Pics to you this Sat, my Kid is in Knoxville TN with my Camera right now
