Flatter U bolt plates are a good idea. You can also fabricate a square tubing crossmember behind the axle to serve as an upper mounting point for shock absorbers. Lower shock mounts can be welded to the axle tubes just inboard of the springs, or clamp-on mounts for a Winters or Halibrand quick change rear axle tube for a dirt track car can be fitted to your housing.
