Most people keep the rear mount in the factory bracket rivet holes and do a new front mount. If you move the shackle bracket back your gonna change your wheel base and rear driveshaft length. Your prob gonna be into the rear fender panel too. Also be prepared to install an anti-wrap bar. 63's can have a lot of spring wrap.

as far as the hump on the rear frame you can throw a spacer in there or heat the hump up and pound it flat or heat it up and bolt the shackle flip bracket in.
 
Seems id be into the body mount bracket movein the front?well went through some posts (im not great with computers)seems i missed a few threads that dealt with this.some say move thr front mount some say why would you just for tires being centered in the wheel wells.
