Rear axle flip, shock problem

I just did a rear axle flip on my 64 gmc 1000. I used a djm k1012-5 kit with a cpp c notch. I removed 2 leafs and cut them into pieces and used them as a 1 inch block. Total rear drop is about 6 inches. The issue that I am running into is with the djm kit the old lower shock mounts do not fit. The holes in the mount are to small and they do not line up with the new U-bolts which are a much larger diameter and a wider spread than the originals. All of the shock relocation kits I have found are for a chevy truck with a coil spring. Has anyone else run into this problem? Is there a company that makes such a bracket? I will post some pics so you can visual of my problem.

thanks
