Re: Leaf spring lowering
If your not going to flip the rear, you have a couple of options. You can remove the bottom overload leaf and gain about 3/4" drop. I don't care for removing more springs than that, but there are those that do.
I would rather see you raise the front spring hanger, or use a Burb front hanger for another 15.5-2" drop. My personal preference is do a flip kit and a C-notch, but I sense thats not what you are after.
