I have few leaf spring sets. I usually make my own

Amazon has trailer build spring sets. That's always an option.

The rc4wd mounts pop up on ebay from time to time for $50

There are cheap ones and you can even diy the springs But with the axle design those rc4wd will help hook them to the axle.

As mentioned above you can drill new holes in the frame.

I do have the axle mounts installed already but not on the frame yet

Hopefully I can find a full kit one day

I'm curious how your axle leaf conversion will work out. I've never seen leaf springs mounted with shackles on each end of them. Usually the front of the spring is solidly mounted to the frame mount. It also helps keep the axle alignment from moving. The way it is now wouldn't the axle move around too much?

As of right now it’s for mock up to get everything close to final set
