Here's a tip if u decide to remove a couple leaves....if they dont already have poly rub blocks on the ends u can take a grinder and "carefully" taper the sharp edge of the spring about 3/8 of an inch in ....this is where most all the friction happens which often results in a rough ride

When the suspension goes up and down the leaves slide against each other because the arch becomes less under compression ...lengthening the pack between the eyes.

Any thing u can do to make them slide easier will result in a a smoother ride ...iv'e even put a little grease in between the leaves at the ends to reduce friction....its cheap and easy ...give it a try .....TTYL
