Rear end too high,,,

I want to level my truck out more, it has 2.5" drop spindles with a cut coil in front, and 4" shackle and hanger drop in the rear. it was the heavy half, so there are a crap ton of leafs in the back, just wondering if taking one or 2 out would lower me an inch or a bit more? anyone done this?

Re: Rear end too high,,,

Won't lower you a bunch more. A flip and stock shackles and hangers will level it out. Otherwise adding shackle will drop it more if Need be. Removing leafs will get you maybe an inch if that but will mostly just make a smoother ride.

Adding drop mounts for your shocks will be a good idea too

Good looking truck... Rear does need to come down just a bit, or maybe put stock uncut springs back in, then the rake would be perfect
