Thanks

As mentioned the 56" springs have the center pin offset 4" to the front, whereas the 52" springs are centered. So by leaving the front mount in place and moving the rear shackle hanger back 4" it will leave the axle centered in place. Just another confirmation. Also FYI these Tuff Country springs are the best riding lift springs out there on the market, way better ride than rancho/skyjacker/rough country/etc. If I would have seen these earlier I might would have nabbed them up for my 1ton and just thrown a couple more leaves in.
