rear leaf springs

New here, I'm working on a 79 2wd Blazer with a flip kit in the rear. It has the original springs & looks to me like its setting high. Do you guys remove any leafs when you flip the rear? TIA...

Lengthen the rear shackle till it's close to the bed floor, this will lower 1-1/2". Anything more than that will require a flip.

Interesting. I think more often than not when a blazer is flipped it's too low. I ended up adding a leaf to mine to lift it up some.
