I don't mean I need a 'saddle' I need a flat solid surface to bolt the
spring to above the leaf spring. With the leaf outboard of the frame
there is nothing there to bolt the spring to. By coping the way the
existing spring eye is bolted on and extending it forward along side the
frame so that I know have a surface to bolt the spring to and for the
spring to reat against at rest.

Well, you only are moving the springs in about 2" per side in the rear.

I don't want to move the front springs at all. Just the rears.
