Outboarding mounts?

Just wanting to see if anyone had any trick ideas for mounting the shackle outboard the frame in the front. I am putting a full width Dana 60 in the front of my sami frame, and I am lengthening the front, and have plenty ideas for the front hanger, but just cant picture anything decent looking for mounting the shackle end. Yes this is shackle reversal, and yes I have looked at the D44 FAQ. It looks as if most do like the Poison Spyder full width kit, and make a plate that a CJ shackle mount bolts to. That is ok, but I dont like the way it looks. Any other ideas?? BTW, I just torched every single factory bracket of my sami frame front to back, so I am free to make whatever. The only thing I left was the front 2 body mounts, and the 4 that go right under the tub, everything else is gone. I just wish the sami frame was a little wider

I ran some plate steel steel from the body mount that comes out from the frame and down the frame about 8" with a traingle gusset on the top of the steel. Then just fabbed up some tube shackle hangers that come down 3" with short shackles. I'm running 56" F-150 springs up front so flex wont be an issue.

Actually, you may thing bigger, but once im done, this rig will be very "little" with big beefy parts. Im only running 37" tires, and from the ground to the top of my cage will be no more than 6 ft. Definetly not much Zuk other than some of the tub, the hood, and windshield. Mostly buggified
