Is it possible to put the rear leaf springs on Backwards??

I have a 54 3100 with stock leaf springs and a later model open drive axle. The Wheels are too far foward by 3.5 inches in the fenders. I measured the distance from the front hanger to the axle (24.5 inches), and from the rear hanger to the axle (28 inches).

I can't remember if the bolts will fit both ends of the leaf springs or not. I know the hanger bolts on each end of the leaf spring are different, but will they fit both ends of the leaf spring.

If they do then I can turn the leaf springs around and I think it will solve my problem.

Thanks
Jeff
