Something like this? but with the bolt eye raised?

This is what I designed and fabricated to increase the axle perch width to 42.5" and use the same rivet holes on a 4x4.

How low are you trying to go? There are axle flip kits that can accomplish the same thing a little cheaper. It usually keeps a good pinion angle.
