Re: Rear leaf spring lowering options, ideas?

My initial thoughts on removing leafs were to remove the bottom two, the ones closest to the axle. The very bottom leaf is a "helper" if you will and doesn't do a whole lot until you get a load on it. Then the second from the bottom is just the bottom of the pack. The two above that seem like they would be more rigid and need to stick together for fitment. And the very top you can't remove obviously due to being able to mount the rest of the pack to the frame.

So if your pickup has a set of 5 springs, like mine, then above is what I am going to do with mine. I can let you know how it works out after I do it. Bad thing is...it may be awhile before I get to it.
