Trav,
That is exactly how I would do it. I'd fill the hole, then move the front mount 1.5" forward, and the rear mount 1.5" rearward. Unless of course you with to offset the axle forward or backward a bit. What spring hangers and brackets are you going to use? You might also think about the angle you want your shackles to be at when loaded. This may change the location of the shackle hanger.
