We had something similar last year. We ended up with shaft collars on the outside of our pillow blocks to help with end play. We just mounted the bumpers over the collars/pillowblocks and everything worked fine. Ours did not stick as far as yours do. Our frame started out about 0.75 inches less than 28 inches so we had the room to do it. It sounds like from previous posts you may all ready be beyond the length/width requirements, I hope not. If you are not, the 3 1/2 inches would start at the end of your shaft. A couple of washers/spaces to give support bewteen the bumper and frame and you should be good to go.
