Have you thought about making a set? I did that for a chevy 4x4 I had to give me cheap lift in the back, all it took was some scrap strap iron the old one to use as a template and a drill and sawzall. If I remember right it took me a whopping hour to do all 4 plates for the back end and less than that to do the front as I didn't add any lift up front due to caster angle issues. Also, have you thought about a shackle flip while you're in there?
