suspension help needed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 77 stepside. I purchased it already lowered. I measured the height from ground to edge of fenders and the front is 28" and the rear is 27 1/2". I am not sure how the guy dropped it 4" in front. It does have new springs in it. The rear has 7 leafs plus a overload spring and it has a flip kit on it. I am wondering if I remove the overload spring would it raise the rear the 1/2" to bring it up to 28" so the truck will sit level?
