Re: removing leafs from springs
The top photo is my 48 with leaves removed with 205-60-14 tires on 7 inch rims.
The second photo is the front spring under the 48 and a good indication of what will happen when you remove leaves from the spring. Plus it never did drive all that great with this setup although I put around 100,000 miles on it with the setup. |

Re: removing leafs from springs
That was a quick and nasty fix when I was putting the truck back together in Aug 1989 with the intent of driving it to one car show and pulling it back apart. Before I started working on it I rolled my daily driver pickup and totaled it and had to drive the 48 to work daily.
