Removing leaf in front - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Can I remove a leaf from the front leaf pack to bring the front end of my truck down a little? Looks like it has 6" springs in front and only 4" block in the rear and I'd prefer it to only have 4" of lift. Thanks

Yes you can remove a leaf or two. The trucks only had 2 leaves when they were new. I would recommend making it one of the bottom springs. I would also recommend new center bolts when you do the removal.

Great thanks for the response. That will save me about $250 and I'm hoping it will soften the ride a little bit too. This truck rides like a lumber wagon ha ha
