need advice with lift...

Im new to the site, but have been reading a bunch of posts already which has helped tremendously.

I have a 1987 Chevy 1/2 ton and I installed a 4 inch Rough Country lift with 35 inch Mickey Thompsons. The truck sits higher up front and I dont like it. I was thinking of putting a 5 or 5.5 inch block out back or an add-a-leaf, but now im leaning toward removing 1-2 leaf springs in the front to drop .5-1.5 inches in the front.

Any advice would be great... Should I remove 1 or 2? Which leafs should I remove? How much difference in height should I expect with each leaf?

BTW, the Rough Country springs are super stiff, thats why I think it would be ok to do this. The front spring pack has 5 springs total.

Thanks!!
