Rear Drop Help Please
How many leaf should I pull from the rear of my truck so that it will sit sorta level without the wicked rake it has now? I actually want a little rake but the rear suspension is so stiff there is no flex at all for launches. It currently has 5 leafs in each pack on ether side. I was thinkin bout pullin 2 leafs maybe 3 but let me know. The front was droped by cutting 1 coil off the stock springs. Thanks for the help.

Dude you rear ended that car
On my 3/4 ton I took out the thick leaf and it dropped the rear a bit My reasoning was to soften the ride a bit and pulling that leaf out made a night and day difference. |

Chevy Punk - It rides good with the cut coils. They are a bit softer but other than that they are great. I dont know exactly how much it lowerd the front. I want to guess 2-2.5inches.
