Those black rubber Marabombs in the picture are also a problem you need to address!
Yes I am aware of that. Wife says I need to wait a month or so to get over the sales tax on a new truck and trailer. The spring thing is on top of the list right now. I towed it from Indiana to Michigan to Missouri so it has about 7-800 miles with the hangers like this so I am not worried about the safety issue.

My thought is remove the current wet bolts, using a all thread rod, push the outer hanger arm back out, (or bend it back out with a large crescent wrench)re-install the springs with a 1/8" washer/spacer on each side of the spring to make up for the 1/4" too wide hanger, install longer wet bolts and you are done.

Pic 3 does look like the hanger is rolled under but it is not, just the outer leg of the bracket is pulled in.

If I had not had the braces installed, I probably would have never noticed I had 2" brackets on a 1 3/4" spring.
