We do it on almost every front spring now. We made sweeps to make each leaf to the correct contour. We have a fixture that is basically two pieces of round bar stock that we use in the press to support the leaf. Then gently radius the leaf as we move it along. Most leaves do not need any more than a couple of light presses to put them back into the correct shape. I will see if I can add a picture or two of the sweeps and holding fixture.
