Leaf springs

I have a 91 suburban 2wd. I have drop spindles on front but know I want to remove leafs from my spring pack to lower the rear. It has 2" lowering shackles but wanna level the rear with the front. My question is: how many leafs should I remove and which ones? I need about an inch or 2 to level my truck. Thanks off any help!!!

Re: Leaf springs

Start with the one second up from the bottom spring. If that doesn't level it out, remove the bottom spring. That should get it.

Re: Leaf springs

i removed the 2nd the 3rd shortest on my truck, i kept the bottem for the clamps. the shorter ones have much more arch so they all stay together as the weight comes off.
