Ok since you put 1 to 2" of additional arch into the springs, how much closer are the spring eyes to each other? How much will the shackle be pulled towards the axle? If pulled too far the shackle will not swing correctly and break the spring eyes.

Why do I ask? Someone did that to my WC53 before I got it. I needed to replace all the springs as either one or both spring eyes were fractured on all 4 springs. The shackles were pulled in too far and jammed up instead of swinging freely. In you case, I might consider replacing the top couple of leaves so that the original schackle angle can be maintained.
