Sky off-road drop bracket

I have recently put a six inch drop bracket lift on the rear of my truck. With the drop lift in my springs are now 1.5 inches wider then the spring perches on my diff. Has any one else ever done this

Are the hangers made wrong?

I'm almost thinking they are. The front mounts are wider then rear also. I've emailed sky about it as we'll. I'm trying to decide if it's better to move spring perches or cut and modify front drop bracket

Did you measure the distance between the brackets? Are they wider than the spring perches on the axle? If so, then they are not right for your truck

The mounts are 3/4 of an inch wider on each side. Every thing else lined up not to bad. I've looked at the kit installed on their site. Every thing I can see looks the same.
