Trying to beaf up my rear suspension some and level it out. I have a 3 leaf spring pac and I found a 7 leaf pac thats from a '78 half ton. The spring length from mine is 48" eye to eye and the 7 leaf set is 53" eye to eye. I don't see any more mounting holes on my frame to relocate the hangers. I don't mind the additional leafs and it should hold more weight. I just don't know where I can find another 5"

So how do I fit a 53" spring into a 48" hole?
