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.

You're already modifying it... Just cut the rear wells and move the axle back 5" and be done with it... You'll love the added wheelbase

Other than that.. If you're dead set on it. Inboarding the front hangers.. is probably your best option.
