Rear Spring Mounting Issue

[BillCNC]

Hi Folk's

I'm mounting my rear spring after rebuilding it and am having an issue. I bought the rear U-Bolts from "The Early Ford Store", and I believe they are way to long. I have added a picture of the packaging and of a mock mounting. You can see the Castle nut is a mile from the cotter hole.

Should I cut the length and re-drill the cotter holes, or am I missing something here?

Oh, ... Merry Christmas!!!

Regards
Bill
