the company replaces the top leaf with the mounting eyes for a longer one add one more leaf for height and arches the ones below a bit extra , its not realy expensive and a bit better resisting the loads put on it and gives about 2 inches extra lift

This shouldn't be an issue because I plan on installing a set of traction bars on it once it is drivable. And, I don't want to add to the spring pack it has already because it will ride bad enough. 
And another thing, the taller perch should be stronger than a short perch and block due to the new perch being one piece.
