    Short answer, NO. You can "Make" them fit, but would you? They wont flex as much, with the added weight, they will ride horribly.

    Exactly what Chris said...

    Shackle *play* (as you call it) isn't something to take lightly. That play needs to be there for proper suspension movement & strength. It's a technical science to the design. Just don't ask me how to explain it, cuz I couldn't.

    You need to find the proper length leaf springs regardless of what the shackles are doing.
