legal view = requires low volume cert
in practise the above is true if your wof issuer notices
Enough people have gone this way that I have to believe that well made shackles are safe.
As things stand at the moment replacement springs for up to 50mm lift are legal no issue.
Couple of things to think about
cert costs 400
shackle lift of 1.5 inches requires shackles 3 inches longer
Your current springs will have sagged so getting springs with a 1.5 inch lift (2 inch lift are more common) will give much more than 1.5 inches
Sanding your knuckles before starting work can help. That way you cant skin them
