I don't really think that's true, at least to a point. Longer shackles don't increase the load on the spring at all - it's still got exactly the same amount of weight on it. It may slightly change the proportion of weight between the front and rear of the spring, but it's not going to have much of an impact. Driving it offroad a lot or carrying a lot of weight in the back is what causes the crappy springs to flatten.
