63-inch rear leaves rearched

[BeefStew42791]

I had an interesting thought today, as I was compiling a list in my mind of all the ways I could mutilate my truck, and I remembered that I saw in the tech library article, "64" leaf spring and shackle flip", instead of moving the front bracket forward and insane amount the owner had the springs rearched. Then I thought, since I'm not really looking into the shackle 'flip' (more of the extension) I could simply rearch the 63"ers, and only have to move the bracket a little bit. My question is, and I'm a little confused as to why I couldn't find anyone else who asked this, would this gain more then the average 3" lift that comes from simply using the 63" leaves, from the rearching and all?

It would ride harsh, and completely bypass the whole point of swapping to longer, flexier leafs.

The chevy spring swap is done for the flex that they offer.

I've never been impressed with re-arched springs anyway, they seem to bag out fairly quick.

Moving the front hanger forward is easy, I had my swap done in 4 hours and love the benefits of the longer, softer leafs.

ok, but then if one were looking for simply ride stiffness and increased towing capacity (at least in the suspension part), and more lift then that sounds to me like it would be a pretty good deal right? aside from the quick bag out..
