there are two things you can do. 1. cut the spring mounts off the axle, and tilt the axle to decrease the angle rewelding the mounts back on, or 2. you can find or make shims to change the angle of the axle without cutting and welding

I dont think you could cut the  spring mounts off the left side because they are machined rite into the differential housing.Plus if you turned the axel without pulling the tubes out of the housing and rotating them back to normal position you cant get the front tires to align properly.I would go to High Angle drivelines web site and see what they have to offer.[ But it wont be cheep.]
