My understanding is they did them this way to keep the diff to drive angle as close as possible to the same no matter what spring deflection you got, but seems to me it wouldn't be enough to worry about. I wouldn't be trying to weld the bracket as you describe, I would be looking for an alternative bracket from another truck. You may need to put an angle shim between the perch and spring to get the drive angle right after you change things.
