Moving Shocks - Dana 70

Good day my friendly truck family. So I've been pondering in my little brain of moving my both rear shocks behind the rear end and moving them straight up and down on my 85 Dually. I did this a couple years ago on my 65 C10 with TW kit and the ride quality was 10x better.

I've been searching online and some of the older Dana Rear ends and haven't seen anything. So I'm considering welding on new shock tabs on the rear end and on the cross bar frame stiffener that I've installed.

Any thoughts? Suggestions? Or does anyone already know of a kit out there?

Just trying to make the dually ride a little better, especially since I drive it nearly daily at this point. Already removed a few leaf springs and the overload spring, and that helped. But for some reason I really think moving the shocks both equally behind the rearend will be game changer.
