Re: Leaf Springs
Yes, if its not flipped, then certainly the thickness of the spring. Be sure to check the length as well. There are two different lengths available.

Re: Leaf Springs
Flip kit will get you close to that. Losing the overload will help too.

Re: Leaf Springs
Really the only way to answer that is to do it. How worn the springs are may make the difference. Losing the overload gave me almost an inch.
