Re: Leaf springs
you could also put the axle over the leafs, but more fab work in that...
longer shackels would work until you hit the bed floor... how flat are your springs? You could have a spring shop make new one's...

Re: Leaf springs
Shackles would be my first choice since they won't have an impact on the ride.
