From Pirate4x4:

For the rear shackle hanger, you can either go with a double shackle set-up (very popular) or weld on a new hanger back about 4 inches from stock.

Mount them 11" forward of the stock spring hanger center hole to center hole.

for the front spring hanger it needs to be mounted 11" forward and the shackle hanger needs to be moved 4" back or you will have to run a double shackle setup anouther thing is that the chevy springs are wider so you cant use the toyota u bolts you have to use the chevy ones and you can make your own u bolt flip kit using 1/4 inch steel, if you do decide to use the toyota flip kit you will have to grind on the springs to make them fit. good luck

If your going to use the stock Toyota u-bolts, just grind the inside edge were the u-bolt contacts the spring. You don't have to take off much, just enough to get the u-bolt on. As far as the u-bolt flip kit, I went to the wrecking yard & got stock 5/8" Chevy u-bolts & plates.
