Re: suspension help
Hi, What are you trying to do, level...improve your overall ride? I think that you will lose payload capacity... some height... Roger

Re: suspension help
It will lower your truck the thickness of the leaf which is about 3/4". You will loose some load capacity. It depends on how often you use it to haul a load whether it will make a significant difference.

Re: suspension help
Makes no sense to me.... truck will sit slightly lower and ride slightly better, and lose a some load capacity. Cannot see how it would cause tires to wear more quickly, though.
