i have a 1979 F-250 with dana 60's 400m manual trans i instaled a skyjacker 6" suspention lift with rear leaf springs when lowerd the trock down the rear axle was cenerd in the wheel well perfectly but the front is moved forward alot from front of the wheel well to center of hub it is ruffly 16" the instructions says short end of the spring goes forward so i thought about fliping them around but that will only move the axle back 1.50" back the part number on the spring is F746s any help would be very apreciated thanks

My 4in on my 70 did the same thing which are the same springs as your using on your 6in for the lowboy. I figured it did a better job because now when flexed up to the fender it dosen't rub, I had issues before the lift when it was flexed or got totally mashed.
