    And I thought that there could eventually be some interference with the corner of the hanger (maybe from too much bushing wear).
    On my stock springs, there was some scuffing from the hanger on the spring - probably from when I took it on some questionable dirt roads and got some lateral load.

    So I asked the guy installing the springs if he'd chamfer the hanger corner a little to add some extra clearance.
