Moving axle forward

[530TOWHO]

I have a 86 with Straight front axle. I would like to put some 44044 springs and I would like to move the axle forward. So my qwstion is can I just push it more forward on the leafs or do I need to do something with my drop box?  Any ideas would be helpful thanks

Depends where your axle sits in relation to you steering box. Here is my build with the 44044 springs
