I am going tu use the existing leafs. The rear is lowered 7" with a flip kit and hangers, also I have a Werstern c-notch installed.
So nothing special, the only thing is the space which isn't really much. I plan to put both sides to the cap like N2TRUX did it.
BTW, is it correct to get an extra drop by removing leafs? I read this several times but I am not sure on the effort of this. Is this caused due the lower capacity with minor leafs and if I would remove two leafs what drop would this offer?
