I have a 1969 chevy 3/4 ton and it has 10 springs in the pack 3 of which are flat bars and thick. my question is which of these springs do i remove if I am lowering it.

Re: What springs do I remove ?
hey Al, when you did the back of your longhorn... was that all you did? Can you haul anything anymore?

Re: What springs do I remove ?
I left the top three leafs in my c/20. I am debating whether adding one more. For now, I am going to install air shocks to give back a little hauling capacity. Right now, it rides like a cadillac. Also, I flipped the axle and installed C-notches.

Re: What springs do I remove ?
Thanks guys I removed the middle 3 and it looks and rides like a dream, I left the three flat springs on the bottom so I can still haul stuff. All of your info has helped a ton and I will post a pic soon.
