Lake...... If i move the springs i will more than likely build new hangers up front under the frame rails and line the arms up parallel to the frame. I will then build a new crossmember for the springs to mount to. Essentially it will be similiar to a ladder bar setup. I won't be offsetting the springs from the arms. I am not fond of that either.
