Any suggestion for how much to do, and how? I assume just longer shackles?? thanks again! Last edited by 1965Monaco; 10/02/14 08:59 AM.

A spring shop might be able to re-arch yours but I've heard steel has a "memory" and the spring will slowly but surely settle back to where it was. http://www.springsnthings.com/ To properly re-arch would require heat treatment to re-program the spring if you will.
