Pic / idea request 82 swb rear shock mounting

I bought the truck with mcgaughys hangers on it I'm guessing it's good for a 4 inch drop.I cut perches and shock mounts off axle. Ordered new hardware from summit and did a flip kit for added drop.. I have new shock mounts made for welding on axle but,I would like to see some of you guys setups where you mounted shocks to frame with a flip kit. I was thinking of cleaning up the ones I cut off axle and welding them in somewhere. Anyway any advice,ideas and or pictures would be greatly appreciated.

Drop hangers are only good for 2" drop plus a flip kit is 5"/6" drop.....you would have been fine with the stock shock mounts with some shock extenders

I wasn't sure I had no point of reference for original measurement. But mcgaughys website sells it as the 2 front 4 rear budget kit.
