C20 coils with overload leafs
 
So I purchased a 1968 C20 it has coils all the way around with overload leafs. I searched the archives for an answer and haven't found what Im looking for yet. If I take out my overload leafs will it?

1. lower the rear end at all?
2. cause any issues with the suspension?
3. can I use C10 Coils to lower the truck as well?

thank you in advance for all the advice.

If you decide to take them out, please let me know. I might be interested. Pics if you have them!
No suspension issues, just less weight capacity.
It would only lower it a little if the old springs are week.
I don't know about the C10 springs.

Factory overloads? On my truck they did not contact the pads until the truck was half loaded. They work well when using a truck as a truck.
