So there was not problem with the extra weight? I may leave mine with two and see.

No harm in trying! Mine 2-leafs still have plenty of arch.

you can re-arch your leaf springs with a heavy hammer and a 4-5 inch gap of something more solid(big vice,block of steel,ect...) you just place the bent area and hit-then move the spring a half inch and whack...you get the idea.... you can create a lift this way or just repair the discrepantency in your spring......i did this to repair the de-arched spring on my txt...

Did you disassemble the springs to do this? Have they lasted a long time?

yes-they need to be hand held ... mine are in good shape and have been holding their shape for over a year and i drive my cart very hard in corners-often 3 or 2 wheeling it. i also hammer bumps-so the springs would have shown a problem by now...i used to race a triumph spitfire and i would use this method to change my rear ride height/camber on my meuller rear spring.
