Removing leafs???
I just got my drop shackles on and it didnt lower it enough. I'm thinking about removing a leaf or two. I am a little concerned that it will be too soft though. What do you guys think?

Re: Removing leafs???
I had 2 leafs removed before, wasnt much difference in a ride over stock. I never hauled anything too heavy though

How much more do you want to drop the rear
If you swap someone for the C10 pack you will drop another inch.

Another inch would probably do it. I was just planning on trying the bottom leaf at first.

Re: Removing leafs???
Yeah the shackles don't do much, they leave me wanting more rear drop too. I was debating on doing the remove a leaf mod or just lowering mine.

Re: Removing leafs???
Ive got a MT kit so I dont want my rear end having anymore trouble keeping up with the front then it already does. Thats why I'm a little hesitant to remove them.

I don't think so, just ride height.
