    You simply flip the leaf springs. Most leaf springs have a offset to them and your's are most likely pushed to the back. Measure the center pin to the eye of each end of the spring to find out where you're at.

    The only way to move your axle forward is to cut your brackets off and extend the frame then. There is no other way. Unless you find a set of springs with the offset greater than the springs you have now.

    Couldn't of said it better myself.

    P Tree, get the measurements of your leafspring eye to center pin and call around to see what other eye-pin measurements are. I am running 5" marlin crawler springs and I will measure mine tomorrow for ya.
