Have you thought about putting the original springs back in to check it out and make sure it was all centered before the change?

You would think that lowering the vehicle with a spring change should not move the axle backwards.
The arc that the wheel and axle travel in should not be that great.
Nothing else changed outside of springs/shocks/ and c notch. U bolts were unbolted for about 2 seconds to put on the shock relocators but axle never moved. I know it makes sense for the axle to move backwards when lowering but what is the fix? Shortening the drive line wouldn’t move the axle forward. Not sure if I have to move the whole suspension forward or if after market trailing arms would fix the problem? Plan on going with another 2” block in the rear for a total drop of 7”.
