Thanks for the link, Dean. That looks like an alternative. I would have to redrill the backing plate, anyway, since my axle uses a Small GM bolt pattern instead of the Ford. Mine uses the Ford bearing, though.
I looked at an Explorer we had in the shop one time. The OE brake cable really snakes around to make it on the inside of the leaf spring, although I think it would be better if it was on the bottom instead of the top. Does it look possible to swap side-to-side so the actuator could be on the bottom? I think the caliper could be inverted to keep the bleeder on the top.
