Im making some changes that wouldnt be feasible on a stock vehicle, mine would still be 3in tube, you likely arent going to find any different.
Youre probably best off using one of those relocation kits, though those are usually twice the cost of just a regular aftermarket bracket.
They dont touch the tube

Heres what I have in Mastercam (of all things)
It shows why I need control arm angle at ride height and pinion angle.
With the goal of welding it on 90 degrees to the pinion, knowing both the pinion angle and the downward slope angle of the control arm it allows me to position the top hole in the stock location. Then be able to put additional holes on the radius of the control arm so wheelbase doesnt change when the arms are dropped.
Not a big issue on a drag car or autocross when youre dropping them both to the same hole, but I dont want arm changes to roll static wheelbase in and out of the car, Im also putting the frame in a twist to allow added ride height on the LR, so the arm already has more static angle even with the rear end in the stock height hole, which adds dynamic rear steer.
All this is for a race car Im building but knowing the stock dimensions would allow me to copy that or tailor it to whoevers car based on their ride height and pinion angle, or even tube size. Its not a big thing, I know I like to say "these arent F1 cars" but it would probably end up being the same or cheaper than the other stuff out there.

The GN rear I have the old owner cut off the lower control arm mounts to fit it into a leaf spring Camaro.
So I need the actual mount not just the relocating bracket

Yikes, yeah Im sure I could do something for you.
If you dont want to wait call dan @ DCA race fab, he may have something
I did no luck everything is for 3 inch
I asked if he could make a 2 5/8 he said, nope no use for them
