problems with 2 in rear blocks and u bolts

i have a 98 2wd f150. i put the rough country leveling springs on it. it sits higher in the front so i was putting 2 in blocks on. i bought cheaps ones at autozone because i'm a dumbass. i got custom u bolts made though.

when i got the blocks on and i looked under it looked like the spring had moved forward an inch or so on both sides. i know there is a nut that fits on the plate that the u bolts connect to but it seems to be pushed forward and i cant get them to connect. i don't really know how to explain it any better.

i need help FAST because i use my truck in my job and i want to know what i have to do asap.

thanks

Can you spin the blocks 180 degrees if they are offset that could help align them. Also, I have seen those blocks from Autozone, they very light weight, I would seriously look to upgrade now or the near future.

If rotating them will not help, take some pics and post so we can see your issue.
