maybe it's just me, but your truck looks to be pretty darn close to the blue one in ride height...the bottom of the fenders look like they line up with the center of the wheels. The oversized wheels of the blue ones simply fill the fender wells up better than the 15" steelies.

I'd say get the wheels you want to run first, then spend money on lowering springs to get the desired right height.


as far as removing leafs, I woudn't do that. You sacrifice payload and hauling (if that matters), not to mention ride quality. Some will say it rides the same, but they're wrong, IMHO. I've ridden in many vehicles with leaf springs, and many with leafs removed and to me it was day and night. If you're just going to show the truck then it probably doesn't matter. If you're going to drive it a lot, then I'd spend the money on drop leafs, mono leafs (I've heard a lot of good things about 'em), drop axels...whatever
