just like the title says... I want to go ahead and get the 8.8 in the truck and use the spring perch method for now and was wondering how to remove some of the leafs.. My truck has a good number of leafs on the springs and it sits way up there.. I am of course going to mount the rearend ontop of the leaf spring instead of under it..

But need a bit more to get it where I want it and do not want all those leafs hanging under the rear axle..

Alos how many should I take out .. i am never going to haul anything in the bed of this truck or towe anything with it.... As you can see in the pic it is up there...
