Bending Front Leaf Spring Brackets?

I have a 2000 Jeep Wrangler with bent Front Leaf Spring Brackets...How safe is it to Bend them back? Mechanics don't recommend bending them (warranty/saftey issues)...Should I heat them first? Is it possible to jack it up and pound them back? Any Precautions or ideas that may help me out? Thank-you, Therese

are you talking about the shackle. if so if it were my truck i would just either junkyard find it or buy a new shackle. much safer and your not tampering with the metal.
