ok I messed up and need help with ideas to fix it.
I did a spring over with the stock springs not enough flex maybe 4in of down travel.
So I went to put in longer springs (stock 20" center pin to eye new ones 25")
so I took my stock hangers off.
Next day with hangover realized that the frame is not the same width.
I really dont want to move the rear back 5" so thats why i cut the hangers off so I could move them forward some. the rear off the springs are also 5" longer then the stock springs so if i had put them in i would have no place to put the shackle hangers.
Any ideas on how I should mount these new springs, oh I cant go back to my old springs since they are all twisted up.
I was thinking about moving them inboard and new spring perches on the axle.
