Re: droppin a c1500 cheep!
The overload in the rear is less than an inch thick. Even if you pull another leaf I'm not sure your going to get a full 2" drop. I would consider a shackle instead.
Up front you can take a full coil off, but its closer to a 2" drop than anything. I did one that way, but prefer to go with 1/2 a coil and drop spindles. BTW- What size tires are you running. If you go one full coil in front, tall tires are going to rub.
