Thanks for your reply fingers, I made spring mounts on volvo diff. When ground to sit on diff they sit down 2/1/2" which make rear spring hangers sit forword about 15% so if I can push hanger back past vertical will be good. So do I use the HR front steel/rubber mounts or FB/EK rubbers. Many thanks wayne.
