I have again jacked it up by the bumper and looking through the spokes of the wheel I can come to two conclusions.
1) loosening the u-bolt nuts to the ends of the thread was not enough because the spring is still touching the crossmember and not floating loose..

2) Because the spring is still flush with the crossmember I would guess the bolt head is in its pilot hole..

So I have to come up with another reason my wheels are offset..
