Quick Question: Spring Hanger Relocation

I just got some 5" All Pro Springs for the rear of my 4Runner. Not the whole rear kit, just the springs and hangers. Anyway, do I need to move the front hangers up 6" or 7" to keep the axle in the stock location? With 6" up it seems like the hanger is on the curved portion of the frame. And I believe the rear goes back 2" (hopefully someone can clarify this). I did not receive any instructions and it is not on All Pro's website so I was hoping someone on here might know. If not, I will just give All Pro a call tomorrow (they are not open on weekends). Thanks in advance for any help.

I would wait and call if it were mine. Those measurements are crucial obviously and off an inch or two will mean a lot of extra work.

Makes a different if its a 4Runner or pickup too I believe.

I usually just measure the length of the front half of the new and old springs (center bolt to center of front spring eye hole) and the difference is how far forward I move the hanger:

I measured it and it is 6" front 2" rear. I will probably call tomorrow to verify though. Thanks for the help.
