so you left it in the same position (at the bottom) but flipped it upside down so inturn the reverse curve is going against the other leaves and pushing the diff higher into the car. is that right.

i do them in the car, take the bottom leaf or whichever you choose turn it upside down and put it on top then use a big G clamp, clamp it down put centre pin/bolt back in, you'll need to use a screw driver or something to line up the holes

Forgot to mention placing the reversed spring on top, my springs were out when I originally did them.

Maybe if you had a pic DR it might help the explanation process.
I can't think what to write here so this will do.

The wagons have 6 leafs, i removed one, but maybe try taking out two (the two smaller ones) and fitting up your 14s and see how she sits

Sounds alright to me. As for bump stop issues, you can cut them down if you are wanting a bit more travel.
