It's sitting darn near level now and I'm happy.The thich spring was probably 3/8" thick,but I believe just removing it allowed the springs to settle in.What ever the anwser is,I like the stance.Well,it was dark by the time I got done but got one pic so you can sorta see the stance,and one of the springs.I'll get some more pics tomorrow of it outside.

The rear springs now

You can sorta see the stance..and the junk piled in it.The blocks in it were to put some extra weight on it to settle the springs.

This old pic from the first time the lift went on shows the springs,the thick one on the bottom circled in red is the one I removed.
