Re: Height differential when removing leaves on the leaf springs...
I have done a lot of spring work over my many years of turning wrenches. N2TRUX Has given you good direction on install C10 leaf springs.
But if you want to keep the C20 and give them a try. Do pull the overload spring, you should find some spacers there also. Last one I had apart dropped it a good 2 1/2 inches. Now the right leafs to remove to drop and have somewhat of a decent ride is the shortest leafs first. Common sence plays here, the longer springs have more flex. But the C20 leafs are 2 1/2 wide ? I'm pretty sure, and about a 1/4 thick. So if you left the C20 main in place and built off it with C10 leafs that are the same with across, but thinner. Using the longest leafs first of course and build from there. I'll bet 4 to 5 leafs will get you where you need to be. And have a decent ride and haul the Saturday Home Depot run.
