This is where you fit sierra rear springs to the front by either extending the chassis or using revolver type (similar to climax) shackles.

It moves the diff forward.

The zook below has the rear diff moved heaps back by using a hilux rear (mounted backwards) and a hilux front with the shackle mount on the front of the bumper.

thanks

Probably stock location but from memory the lux springs are wider so the hangers need to be altered.
