heres an idea that's been used in a number of friends rigs and will be used when I do my axle swaps. please excuse the crude paint sketch:
use a 1.25" or 1.5" piece of tubing with plates at each end spanning the width of the framerails, drill 2 holes for 2 bolts toward the middle of the bar over the pumpkin, sandwich the tube with washers and weld them to the tube to make them studs, use something like this: http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/images/images_big/shock-tab-small-radius.jpg at the axle on top of the tubes & grind to fit the tubes properly for high clearance, or you could use a spring perch like this one: http://www.jegs.com/images/photos/700/710/710-85090.jpg cut it in half, shove a bolt through it & weld it so its a stud then weld it behind the axle and cut it so it clears the shock body if you want more travel. you can do this setup for way cheaper than $85 and it works.
