I have moved them them directly unnder the frame and then put the axle on top of the spring. This gave me enough room far a 14 X 32 drag slick without effecting the ride height. I used front spring hangers and rear shackel mounts from a B body lined them up to the outside of the frame rail and welded them in place.

On my '84 I simply ground off the rivets holding the spring mounts to the frame. I welded a plate for mounting on the inside of the frame then swapped the springs side to side. I'm no chassis engineer but it was a pretty easy project. I'm using 31x18.50x15 rear tires with plenty of room after installing tubs. I used a narrowed rear from a car to move the springs under the axle.
