The only way you can use the stock saddles is to cut them off cleanly. If you have a plasma cutter or are good with a torch, it can be done. You can also buy new saddle brackets.
Most of the kits for flipping are an adaptor that fits into the original saddle, leaving the flat top on the axle. It cleans things up a bit to weld on new ones and cut the old brackets off. It's not a big deal because you cannot see them very well anyway, it also makes it harder to switch back if you need to.
