First what base vehicle is it?
Does it have an alko rear chassis? If so there will not be leaf springs on rear axle.
Have you weighed rear axle on weighbridge, if so what was weight and what is plated weight? Somewhere you will have a plate that shows front axle weight, rear axle weight, total weight and train weight. Often on crossmember under bonnet. Converter may have added 2nd plate or even 3 rd plate.

With more info am sure replies will come in.
