1.5" blocks max w/15" wheels. Even then, you need to ensure the u-bolt tips are trimmed so they are basically flush w/the retaining nuts. If the tire goes flat, there is still enough rubber there to keep the u-bolt nuts from digging into the road surface unless the tire comes completely off the rim.

Yes, but 1 5/8 is generally the shortest people go on the cups before rubbing issues arise. Cupping/plating is also an option

Get a piece of 3/16 plate. Trim to fit/weld to the bottom of the arm. Get a piece of 8" pipe. Weld in place of the coil spring pocket. Drill a hole on center to mount the bag. Search the forums for pics- quite a few members have done it...
