Coilovers?????
That is an okay design but slightly complicated for no real added benefit. See what I drew up. It's a one-piece tube with two bends (1-1/2 mild steel .120" wall) with plates a each end and a dimple-died 3/16 plate, notched and welded at tube side and frame end. You could make it a bolt-on I guess too.
As an example concept look at what off-chassis builders do (especially twin I-beam Ford Rangers) and how coil-overs are supplemented to work. You could go with a 1" DOM instead of the 1-1/2 mild steel tubing, but it looks odd and harder to bend. Mild steel will work just fine.
