Upon a close look at the picture it looks like the axle is welded to an axle pad of some sort. I just got back from the new Tractor Supply Company here in town and found this axle pad. I need to drill another hole for the center bolt of the spring to relocate the axle back an inch, But I think it will work great as a start of my flipkit. And for the grand total of $10 for the pair of pads I think I'm off to a good start. As for the torch cut on your spring it looks like they tried to shorten thaqt spring to allow it to be just a little lower. Maybe some day the person who did it will learn a little finess with age.
