Lowering the rear..

[bluex]

I have my truck dropped 2.5/4 with western chassis stuff. I was a longbed fleetside heavy half (big 10 for you chevy guys ) Now its a short stepside. The rear end is waay to high, I'm thinking of going another inch or so in the front and was wondering what my options were for the rear. I really don't want to do the flip kit route. Would swapping to a set of leafs from a regular half ton net me any drop? My leafs have like 12 springs in them. I dont really wanna take some out as hitting the salvage yard and getting a stock 1/2 ton setup would be just as easy.


My leaf springs are like 5" longer than the ones on the shortbed I measured off of to get my demisions for the bed swap. Is this the same for all longbeds or just the difference between the regular half ton and big 10???

Thanks guys
