removing leaf....
ok so i was talking to barrman about there truck and i asked him if he had a lowering kit and he said that he just took out one leaf to lower the rear to be even with the front and that was it...
he has the same basic truck as me and the same size tires so my question is what kind of load lose will i experance? i really dont haul alot of stuff, but i jsut want to make sure if i take them out i dont snap the other 2 leafs...
OR....
is there a hanger that i can get jsut to lower my rear end .5 inch to an inch?

it really shouldnt be that much unsafer w/o anything heavy in the bed or without me hitting any big bumps....
im still contemplating if i want to do it or not, id really like to because it would make my new tires completely fill up my wheel wells, but i do drive my brothers motorcycle around every once and a while and thats got some decent weight to it...

so flipping the hangers will give me 2" of drop?
i jsut measured my truck and wasnt really sure where to measure from but jsut behind my front wheel is 15.5 inches... just infront of my rear is 16.5 and jsut behind is 18.5....would that even it out?....
then what about the pinion angle? would i need shims or is that one of those scenarios that you dont know about till you flip them...

correct flipping the shackels/hangers is 100% 2" drop in rear then get some 2" front lowering springs i only got .5" in the front BECAUSE i have a Splash and its lowered from the factory and it was saged .5" over time so i only got like .5" drop you being you have a 3.0L with 2" springs would get like 1-1.25" of a drop if you have a 4.0L you would probly get 2"
