Do you care to explain how you come to this nonsense?
A leafspring gets its strength from its thickness plus its arch.
If you reset them flatter ( since you wish to lower) How does it get stiffer? It has now lost much of its arch strength and is relying on its thickness.
Is there some magical way that you know how to flatten a leaf and make it stronger at the same time?

The only real way to strengthen (make stiffer) a reset lower leaf spring pack, is to either add more leaves or replace leaves with thicker leaves.
