Questions about removing a leaf spring

Titan5683 · 02-13-2008, 06:10 PM

I have a 7 month old baby girl and she is getting jarred around way too much due to the stiff ride of the Big tow package and I would like to soften it up if I could. Will removing a leaf be a reasonable option? I really don't haul or tow anything so I am not worried about payload. Which one would be the best to remove, the one directly above the overload spring? If anyone has done this before please feel free to chime in with comments or advice. Thank you, Justin.

Justin,

Don't do it. You're not going to change the ride the way you think you would. Hit a bump and you'll be in for a real treat!

I would recommend changing out shocks or more expensively, air bags...

Will it be something like bump steer, but in the rear?
