I have a solution for you but they don't make a specific kit for a 1-3/4" diameter axle like they do with the 2-3/8" item # K71-384-00.

To make your own conversion kit for a 1-3/4" diameter axle all you will need is the U-bolt kit Item # APUBR-10 and two of the spring seats item # TRSS175 you were looking at.
