There is an easy way, which is bolting a piece of 50mm RHS through the existing holes and bolting your bumpstop to the extension.
On the rear, weld a bit of 50mm RHS onto the existing pad.
This is the hard way:
This pulls the bumpstop under the chassis which works the spring harder as the pivot point is inboard of the spring. The end result is lots of articulation with very limited compression travel. The springs get some funky twist in them but quality leaves seem to live quite well, although we don't run much lift.

What size tyre are you running to need spacers in the rear? I had 31 under mine without a BL and the rear never rubbed. front did. Just attack the inner guards with a BFH and flatten out the seams. Dropping the bumpstops just reduce suspension travel.

Lots of custom gear as I cant afford the proper stuff.

also allows for forced articlation as well i believe.
