The front springs have held up well now for about 6 years.
They re-arched them and added a spring. I don't know if they heat treated them, but the guy at the spring shop said that adding a leaf
usually will "hold" the arch, but if you don't add a leaf the re-arching will fail over time.
The shackles look pretty similar in position up front now, almost vertical. But I will check them again, to see if the left front has given way a bit?
