Yes I basically got banned for no reason though. It was for unappropriate picture which was not my fault that it was posted. If I got banned for something that I did I wouldn't be posting. And I do spell because wrong all the time.

I will add something good to this thread though if others might be interested. You can redrill the holes inboard as people have been doing this for a very long time mainly to increase the distance from the spring to the tire and not for increased spring rate. But by doing so you will increase the spring rate as well. I do not know by how many pounds as I have never sat down to figure it.
But if you are happy with the spring as is then it will make it just a bit stiffer. You can ask VBP and they will most likely have an answer for you on the change of the spring rate. As they also produce a shorter glass version as well.

If you do both sides the angle becomes too great. To move both holes you have to cut the spring just inside the existing holes and then drill 2 new 3/4 inch holes. This makes the spring too short with stock trialing arms. If you cut only 1 side, drill 1 new hole and then add a new 3/8th hole in the exact center the spring is shortened but at the same time the slope of the bolts is accetable.
I drove with a shortened spring for years but it bugged me that the bolts angled in. It really put a dent in the poly bushing and I did break a bolt once.
Later I offset the mounting on the trailing arms to fix this.
Drill only ONE side, not both
Drilling the hole doesn't really change the spring much. I did have a leaf spring checker and found my rear spring was 140 pounds per inch.

That is what I was thinking
