83 scrambler suspension

I have a friend restoring an 83 scrambler. Trying to figure out what suspension is on it now as the spring mount points appear to have been moved.
If he wants to restore it to mostly non lifted stock what are the measurements to move the mount point to? Rear and Front.
Rear is 2.5" springs and front is 2" currently.

Recommendations on suspension for these? OME?

Thank you

I have an '83 that was stock, (only rebuilt the leaves and added a few), so I could probably get you some measurements.
It's unclear if you are referring to the mounts on the axles or the mounts on the frame.

Just the frame mounts. These look like they were re welded and moved.

Okay, gotcha.
I'll try to get to it tomorrow before the weather from Helene moves in.

Probably work better than what I could get crawling under mine.
