I have seen a sort of tow dolly built using those beams, just find a length of hollow rectangular steel tubing of the proper strength and dimensions, and slide the axles into it, one from each end. The tow dolly I saw did not use any suspension, it was used only for transporting older self propelled combines by setting the rear wheels of the combine in the cradle and then towing to the salvage yard. Don't know if this helps but maybe will give you some ideas? I would think that the rectangular tubing might be a good place to mount the leaf springs.
