Re: hd leafsprings

I think it depends more which ones you remove. Some of them add to the spring rate quite a bit more than others. Seemed like the ones up near the top did less than the ones near the bottom when I took leafs out of mine.

I started with 8, took out the huge overload and one of the upper springs that didn't seem to be doing much and ended up with 6. Does perfectly fine even with the bed filled and it goes over bumps a lot better.
