Question Curious Question

Just for the heck of it what would happen if I pulled all but the main leaf and maybe one other out of my pack but left the coil sprung overload shocks on the truck? I know those things are insanely stiff but how would the truck react?

Its on my 65 GMC 3/4 ton.

Re: Curious Question

Would lower it and ride better,But running a mono leaf over time will break that leaf in half and carring any load in the bed would be a bad idea.

Re: Curious Question
