Need Help - Spring Perch

Hello,

Looking at these pictures (passenger side)...




... I need to flip the lower spring perch bolts to properly bolt my after market exhaust hangers on, looking at the 2nd picture the bolt and hanger need to be complete opposite.

What is the proper way to flip these babies? aside from taking it to a shop.

I just checked my setup and the lower spring perch bolt is exactly opposite as your setup-have your bolts been previously changed or reconfigured? I've never had to flip the bolt but guess you would have to jack the truck so the rear tires are off the ground and then support the truck by the frame with jack stands. Then support the rear axle housing with a floor jack and flip the perch bolts. Sorry for lack of details, I'm sure someone else will chime in who has done this before. Just curious, are you changing your Roush exhaust to a different setup or just trying to realign the pipes?--cheers.

Yea, the 06's and up just come that way from the factory, who knows why. I just wanna flip them so the pipes line up better. Right now the pipe on the left comes out fine but the one coming out of the right comes out on a slight angle and its just eating me up, needs to be perfect. I actually just put the Roush on yesterday, so far I love it - no plans on removing it.
