Default lca relocation bracket question(pics)

i've got another thread over in the gears section, i've been fighting my my moser 9" install the whole way....i've pretty much got everything together, but my last big issue is that the rear sits back too far....i thought maybe the lca reloc. brackets were the problem, i had used the brackets off my ten bold and notched them a bit to make them fit and i thought maybe i had messed up the angle....but even putting the lcas back into the stock location on the moser pushed the axle back too far......i really don't want to wait to order new brackets and adj, lcas, not too mention i don't want to drop another 300 bucks....so i centered the axle where i wanted it and modified the brackets even further, and i'm gonna weld them in....

my question is this: i'm not keeping the "arc" tru between the "stock" hole and the bracket hole, the bracket sits back further to center the axle(bringing it foward)....will this cause any problem? what does this change in geometry effect?



i have them tacked in right now:



thanks
josh

this pic shows how far the t/a sits up....the poly bushing used to be directly above the bottom bolt....don't know if this is a big deal or not, although it does seem to be noisier:





pics of the brackets in:


pic from the rear of the rear:



the axle seems to be farther back on the passenger side by about 3/8ths of an inch...may need to get adj lcas anyways
