Depends on how you use your truck. If you need to haul heavy , then I would leave the leaf springs alone and shim the front. If more interested in a smoother ride then yank a leaf spring .

I wonder if there is a leaf spring shackle kit that lowers instead of raises?

Re: leveling my c30

nose diving? that sounds like it needs shocks.

Is the front end low all the time or when braking?

On a C30 dually, I'm not sure if they make lift spindles or coils for that truck.

Re: leveling my c30

Did you have any luck lifting the front of the truck with springs?
