I searched all over and could not find an established way to do it so I figured I would try to help others by posting how I made it work and save them the hassle of experimenting and searching like I had to do. It will cost about $100 based off current Amazon prices of the parts plus the cost of a couple of bolts and nuts. Below is a link to a list of parts on Amazon. Hopefully this helps someone who needs it.
