Differences in 12B leaf pads? Flip kit doesnt fit

[cruizin01]

Finishing up trying to install my Ridetech Streegrip kit but running into issues. It appears my leaf pads on the axle I have sit slightly higher off the axle tube than was is common. Therefore the flip brackets dont fit snug up into the bottom of the leaf pad. This allows for lots of rotation of the axle. The picture is poor but you can see the top of the new bracket doesn't go into the bottom of the leaf pad. Most of the pictures I found online show the ubolts sitting flush with the top of the leaf pad. My pads sit roughly a half inch or more above the tops of the ubolts.

I've talked with ridetech and they don't really have a solution. I found a random picture on Google of some leaf pads that appear to match what i have bit can't find any info on them. The brackets seem taller than mine but that's just eyeballing them. (1st pic)

Anyone ran into this?
