DIY4X B-52 swap pic request

I am needing some pics from the guys that have done the 52" swap on the front of there rigs using the DIY4X kit. The research I have been doing: Some people say I need to move my rear mount forward. If I have the kit, it has multiple slots for bolting the spring up. I don't think I need to move the rear mount but just asking the guys that have been down this road before.

The kit is going on an 86 suburban.

You may run into the bushing game ... later model GM front springs were wider than the 2.500 that the B-52 uses ...
Keep in mind you will have to use the rear b25 hanger mount also .
