If you just moved your perches to the bottom of the axle tube you need to drill a 3/4" diameter hole 1" (center to center) forward of the existing locator hole. Then just use that hole for the assembly bolt on the spring. This will allow the correct offset for the change in driveline geometry. Basically the same concept as how the flip kit bracket has the offset hole. I am going to have to do the same thing.

Cheers,

Ed
