1975 CJ5 aftermarket transmission mount

Doing a frame-off restore of a 1975 CJ5. Aftermarket transmission mount is 3/4 inch higher (h=1 7/8") than the original mount (h=1 3/8"). Aftermarket cross-member mount is the same as the original one, making it 3/4 " lower w/new mount. Higher rear mount makes for increased angle of transfer case to axle/differential angle and forced twist to mount assembly (if I were to tighten it down). This can't be good. Anyone else run into this problem? Any suggestions? Any sources for a mount of the right height (besides Crown, Omix or Rugged Ridge, which all seem to be the same height)?
