Yes, but don't take out too many. You can pull the helper off, but I wouldn't go below 4 total (I haven't ever pulled more than 2). Not guarantees on the ride either. BTW, that is a 7 leaf setup, the last is the helper spring. A 3 leaf setup would be softer, but...
If you want to talk to someone that has done ALL of the ABOVE, Swerve has done it all.

You are measuring correctly also, it will be 6.5" or so depending on the flip supplier.
