Lowering

Hi I'm new to the site. And got a question I can't seem to find an answer to. Has anybody taken leaves out of the spring pack to lower their truck? If so how does it ride? And how many were removed. Thanks.

My '56 3200 is missing the second from the bottom and the second from the top leaves. But I would advise against pulling leaves because you will lose quite a bit of travel and the ride becomes a little sloppy (well, sloppier with a pack that isn't quite as stiff).

You can get a dropped axel (not stretched like a MorDrop) from CenPen or try out a monoleaf setup.

Keep in mind that the inline six is heavier than the small block and that the 3100 frame is lighter than the 3200/3600.
