I'll weld two pieces of 2x.250" strap to this plate, approximiately 7" long, with the strap overhanging to the front a bit, and running to the very rear of the U-bolt plate. This will leave room for one shock mounted hanging off the front of the plate, and one mounted to the rear, between the center-pin and rearmost U-bolt uprights.
