I would not go the "Mono Leaf" route. I saw a couple of them break. Try Pete and Jakes or Posies. Both may have a reversed eye main leaf. As an alternative you could take the stock spring to a good spring shop and have them de-arch the spring.

A posie spring might not give a 2" drop compared to the old, sagging spring.

If the pin in the spring eye on the wishbone is good and you prefer stock style shackles a stock pin will work in an aftermarket spring.

We usually use modern shackles with poly bushings as the original stuff is worn out. Easier too; than dealing with oversize repop pins.

If it were me I would use the later type nylon bushing kit for the shackles. Much easier to install.
