I've seen a post regarding turning the rear leaves around to gain some clearance from the rear doors. I plan on doing some additional trimming for tire clearance as well, but I was curious if anone has any info, pics or links on this mod. Do I need to extend the driveshaft as well? Thanks!
Reversing the rear leaves?

I have to think that this is a bad idea. It will increase axle wrap among other things. If you have to, move the mount rearward.
nope.....leave them be
Mil wrap would be on the wrong end. You could flip the main leaf and re-drill the centering pin but I've never been a fan of drilling leaf springs.

What about springs with the pin relocated back an inch or so? Would that give you the clearance Clarence?

The best fix for what ails you would be to drill new pilot holes on the spring pad and the tie plate. Then nothing but the axle will move. I'm still unsure why you think you need this, I've never heard of it before. I run SOA with 35"s and I have plenty of room.

I would choose the way to order new leaves ( both, main and military wrap ) with the center pin hole moved back the amount of inches that you want and then, use your olders to asemble the spring pack again ..
