I'm not so lucky....

I was thinking of getting new springs made but a couple inches longer to extend the wheel out and provide a little more dampening. Has anyone done this or is it not a good idea?

What about using a thicker single piece of spring steel rather than two thinner ones? Or alternately four thinner pieces sandwiched together with the total thickness the same as stock?

Just curious, I'd just like to find a press to re-arch my springs with for now and go fly!
