whats the easiest way to measure to move 1ton spring perches to the half ton location?

I measured in from the backplate to get them close. Bolted it up to the springs with U-bolts. Made sure the spacing was the same tacked them on then removed it and fully welded them.

Edit: This way you can set your pinion angle as well.

Nice Brian. Very seldom can a question be answered with just one post and the answer be complete. Sounds likethe most logical way to do it.

I do them the same way except I weld them under the truck so I don't have to remove them. Just remove the u bolt.
