Strange, don't the springs and hangers run inline with the Chassie  ??? Both my van do... You would have to be very careful with the offset of the wheel....

It's only the lwb (dual wheel) has the springs inside the frame

My Camper shocks mount on the inside, but diff springs mount outside the Chassie, it is not a Duel wheel, nor a Jumbo, as wheel pitch is 18" shorter than my Jumbo ???

sorry photo taken from phone.......
