Most of the time I went to longer springs I have had to cut off the front and rear hangers and re-weld them further apart. You may could use a narrow equalizer and change shackles to make up small differences but 5" will require remounting the mounting points. The 5 leaf springs I got were only 23" or 23.5" if I remember right and I was able to make them work.
