How do I lower a '66 3/4 ton GMC ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok, this is my first post here. Looks like a great forum. Sorry in advance if I ask any dumb questions, this is my first truck. So I'm new to this.

I just picked up a '66 GMC longbed with a class B GVW weight rating.
My father in law knows old trucks and will help me out, but I wanted to know if lowering the rear by removing leafs and adding drop shackles is ok?
I'm going low budget, but I want it safe too. I won't be hauling any heavy weight, how many springs can I remove? Or is there a better way? I don't want to mess with flipping it if I don't have to.
