Relocate rear leaf spring with slider?

If you install the slider next to the frame where the shackle was do you have to relocate the front spring pocket mount?

No, but you will likely need to slot the inside holes so that the bolt isn't in a bind. I've seen people slot them then weld heavy washers over the outside to locate the bolt in the new position in the front mount.
