how many leafs do you have in your leaf pack right now?

for the rear to sit even with the front you'll need a 5" drop in the back, which is a lot of leaf springs to be taking out.

why not just get a flipkit for cheap?

Sorry, but you ain't going to make it level by taking out any leaves from the spring pack.
