Welcome to CK5.com. I do not think you will be able to see the pictures, being a newbie.
And I am really no help. But someone will chime in.
The best way to eliminate the U-bolts is to get rid of the leaf springs.

Are you running spring under?
What setup now ? Round or square ubolt ?
You can just swap squre low hang for round extra on top . I have done it before .

What is the vehicle/axle? If you have the square bolts pointing down, that's definitely worth changing. But for round U-bolts pointing up, there's almost no ground clearance advantage to eliminating U-bolts. There are potential drawbacks to the UBE because the bolts are MUCH shorter, therefore less stretch/durable clamping force. Also, they rely on good welds on the spring pads or eventually spring wrap and axle torque will rip the mounts off.
Or do you have some interference on top of the axle, like weird bumpstops?
