Default Mismatched springs

I'm currently restoring/modifying an 89 marathon, it appears that somewhere along the way someone replaced one of the front leaf springs with a spring that is 1/4" longer and has a bit more camber than the original spring, i want to move the axle forward 2", widen it 6" and lift 6" I had intended to do so when I fabricated a new front axle by using longer spring mount plates. Should I buy stock springs? buy the 88 marathon springs which are 19" long and not use longer spring mount plates? or should I buy stock extra heavy springs since moving the axle forward will put more leverage on the springs? Hoping for some wisdom, thanks

My thought is HD springs and make longer perches/plates for it to move it foward. I think your onto something about the leverage.

I USED THESE ON MY 93 EZGO (70989G03 Heavy Duty Front Cantilever Leaf Spring FROM AMAZON) LIFED FRONT 2" AND EXTENDED IT 2" ON TOP OF A 4" LIFT I MADE BEFORE AND AFTER PICS.
