He would not be the first one, I have heard of a similar project getting all the way to trying to back out of the shop, before figuring this little engineering gem out!

Yes, its time for some griding and welding.

If you don't want to cut and weld spring mounts, I have heard of others getting "high arch" springs and mounted the explorer axle like normal. Other than that, its cut and weld time as your B2 don't have clearance with the over slung axle.
