Seven inches is quite a lot. I think your best bet may be to find a spring shop and have them either modify your spring or maybe make you a new spring.

If you have them make you a new "Main Leaf" then maybe you can build the spring back up using the remaining springs in your existing spring pack. Springs are not at all hard to cut with a shop saw, but the arch will be wrong I think.

Is there any way you can fabricate a new front spring hanger?
