The braces then had to be lengthened and welded. Seems like a lot of work but if you have a large wheel and tire (31" tall) at this ride height you need all the room you can get.

Yep. Thats what I had in mind. Trim back just to the edge of the spot welds (~.625") and reinforce the remaining lip for reassurance. I haven't decided on bolt-in or welding the reinforcement.
