2wd conversion Rear spring mount . ?help?

I'm trying to find a picture of a 4wd to 2wd conversion and what peopl used for the rear spring mount at the frame on a coil spring rear Suspension.
My conversion has a massive mount on the frame which prevents me from getting the vehicle as low is I would like.

Thanks !

I used a 3"x 3" angle 5" long, (2) 5"x 5" plates under the frame on each side. also 3" drop springs. and 1" drop blocks.

I like that it doesn't need to be welded
