    couldn't you turn the axle upside down & swap the backplates over??

    also, you need to adjust the brake load sensing valve linkage, or you will skew the bias to the rear.

    its all about the locating lug that is on the leaf spring. the mig thread seemed to just cut it off, and ignore it... but it will cause trouble if you hit a big bump on the road as it could skew the axle & cause it to crab up the road.

    please post some pics up of the locating spigot on the leaf spring. you might need to go to a leaf spring specialist to get it done safely.
