Technical Loose leaf spring

Hey everyone, I have a dropped tube axle,hairpins,tube shocks and a two leaf front spring. I noticed today the bottom leaf is turning outward due to the lack of spring clamps. I'm getting the clamps but what is the best way to get the spring back into position? Thanks everyone I appreciate it

 

A big brass hammer or a big hammer and a block of wood so you dont ding the spring up and smack it back into place. It helps if you loosten the u bolts holding the axle to the springs a bit. Makes it go a little easier.

 

Thanks for the help and fast reply.

 

The bigger question is, why are you running a spring with only two leaves ? Normal is 4-6 leaves.
