I was, as you stated, talking about where the rubber wraps around sides of spring and its total thickness. The shock plate metal should touch the axle perch saddle.
I have swapped R to L on many 1970-72 cars just because the DS usually is more worn.
How is the "Eye" bolt up front? Loose?
It might take rolling the car a car length or two to get it settle in.
Good luck@!
