When I was young and broke, I used all of the "Old School" methods, as I got a little older and smarter, with a little more money in my pocket, I embraced the dropped axle, stock springs and shackles school of thought..

Long shackles.... bad
Heating springs.... bad
Reversing spring eyes.... good. Has absolutely nothing to do with safety.
