I'm an amateur and metal work and welding but why not sister an L angle along side and under the original frame, weld the axle hangers to that? Use the biggest possible and extend it forward and back of the original point of bending.
Thanks for the reply and thoughts. I use bits and pieces of all ideas as I can. Ideally added reinforcement is added to maintain the I beams center balanced loading about the beams neutral axis (center of the I beam vertically and horizontally). Having a large vertical angle leg off center and not attached to the top flange along with the vertical leg out on the very edge of the lower flange is not a balanced loading. This angle iron method if I'm envisioning your thoughts right, would need more thought on how that off center loading will affect the original I beam.
Thanks
John
