I have a 73 stepside C10 with 2in. dropped shackles and hangers.The leafs are about 2 years old and originally had 6 leafs.I dont haul heavy loads anymore since I completly restored the truck.If I had it to do over,I probably would have gone with a flip kit.My rear tires are 255 60 15.I had since removed 2 leafs from the pack.Each time my ride actually got smoother,and I gained little drop maybe an inch( i never took the time to measure,but I could tell it did drop a little).I would like another 1 or 2 inch drop to where the top of my tire is even with the bottom of my fender well.Should I remove any more leafs? Is the bottom fat leave one that should not be removed? Thats the one I was thinking of removing.I haul a 5x7 trailer to the landfill occationally,not to heavy,just trash or tree trimmings.Any input would be appretiated.

I would get a belltech flip kit before you take out anymore leafs.

How many leafs total do you have now?
You can remove the overload with no problems, I personally wouldn't go less than 4 leafs on a 7 leaf pack.
If you want to go lower, you could get a set of rear shackles, but you will probably need to clearance the bed for them. Chris Lucas

You WILL need to clearance the bed for drop shackles.
