Cool I gotcha...probably just fork over the cash and get some from tad

Like I said, if you're doing it to a truck, you can just inboard the springs and place them under the frame rails. No need to do a 'shackle flip'. I have a couple of threads subscribed on ifjsa that detail this project. If you're doing it to a waggy, these or Tad's will work. If you want to move the perches, these or Tad's will work.
If you want the specs for these, I'll give them to you. Measurements might not be the same if your spring perches are different or if you are putting them on a truck. Heck, I had a measurement wrong when I started today and ended up cutting one piece of each side twice. Ended up with some extra scrap, but had enough material to get them done.
I put a drawing of these on page 2. I drew it with Sketchup, a free 3D drawing program. Has a pretty steep learning curve, but I was able to get this visualized before cutting any steel. I think that made it much easier for me to make them.
Here's a thread from ifsja on inboarding springs for 14 bolts in trucks:

Here's one on the voltmeter swap for the cluster:

There are a few more of each, but those should get you started. A local Autozone had the volt gauge in stock, $15.21 if memory serves.
