52 and 56 inch spring hanger holes
 
Does anyone have measurments of the 52 and 56 inch stock holes in a frame for the rear hanger?? iam going to put 56" springs on my truck and need the know how much to move the hanger back. my frame doesnt have 56" holes. I know some trucks have both holes from the factory.

Not sure if I have any pics kicking around.


Few more Q's:
So youd don't need to drill more holes...it's just bolt on?
Does moving the hanger back also affect how the wheels center in the fender?
Does installing the longer spring add some lift?

no more holes just get all the rivets out.
i don't think it affects the wheel centering. the spring is the same length from the front hanger to the center pin.
the shackle flip gives you a 4" lift.

ok so what does using 56" springs do for you? if i have 52s should i find a set of 56s? and if so what are they normally on?
