Random lowering question...
I have been looking at all the different ways to lower the rear of my truck more and something raised a question, if you have a flip kit done on the rear and pull leaves out of the leaf pack wouldnt that be effectively raising the rear back up?

Re: Random lowering question...
No because the axle sits on top of the main leaf. Removing springs will lower it further and increase axle wrap.

Re: Random lowering question...
not necessary, its depends on how many leafs are in the spring pack, when I only had 3 leafs in the spring pack the rear was almost dropped 8" drop with a flip kit, then I added 2 leafs back in the pack it raised it to a 5" drop

Re: Random lowering question...
yes.if the prings had 0 sag. however the trucks weight on the one spring and the overload spring, causes about 2.5 in. far more than the 1/2-3/4in of removed spring thickness.
