It's not really about the payload increase, I trashed the shell a year or so ago when the rails delaminated and have since replaced it with a light aluminium one

So lets build up a logical perspective here for a moment.
Helper springs are for payload capacity, not leaf spring crutches so in your thinking, truly they are a moot point.
So now with that in thought, you can buy just good ole` standard replacement springs for $82 each I saw on Rockauto and be Good As New. Rather than go to a point of paying for something MEANT to increase payload (since that is not a issue, NOR a desire as you say) and then re-arch old springs? and still perform all of the same work to do either plan.
Do I, errr. we have that correct?
Brotha, can I start a gofundme fund on your behalf to do it the right way and not cut or makeup odd corners? We could easily get 50-60 people to donate a single $1 for the cause here. There's some damn good people on here.
This way you can just get two new springs and be done.. Maybe if we get it at $1.50 we can get you a couple tools to aid in the work effort too.
