I think you are reading Dave’s suggestion slightly wrong.  Just take out the spring.  You can have 2″ between the attachment point on the track and the bottom of the sheave.  So, your 2″ shackle is just about perfect.  In light air, the block flops over inboard giving you a tighter sheeting angle.  With the sprin in place, the block stands up and pulls the sheeting angle outboard.

In Wisconsin, your mast can hang up to 4 ft off the back of the boat without the requirement of a flag or lights.
