Question for anybody that has removed a leaf spring to lower their truck. I hear it's a good way to lower it but you lose pay-load. I rarely ever haul things. Is this ok for the truck? Is going with hangers a better choice?

 

A couple of people I know have had their springs dearched. I don't know if it is better for the pay load versus removing a leaf.

 

de-arched? what is that?

 

I had the springs dearched on another vehicle and it killed the ride... really bad, I have thought about removing some leafs.. Ok some body hows about some more input...

svt chic, I have removed a leaf from my 02 along with the shackles and belltech springs up front,, no problems with the set- up here! I like the stance and still can throw enough in the bed for my needs. Truck also seems to transfer weight better under hard acceleration. Jon

 

Which leaf did you remove? Any pics of the truck now? Which shackle do you have?


Sorry for allt he ?'s just want details!

 

pics on gallery before and after... I removed second from bottom, the shackles are the belltech 2" .... no problem with the questions... I ask all the time! Jon

 

Thanks

You don't happen to have blonde hair as well do you?

J/K...just saw your email and that was the first thing that popped into my head.

 

lowering looks good, but man, i hate bounceing around like a cracked out, crazy, furry, white, bouncy, floppy eared, rabbit everytime i hit a bump. i'm lowered front and back, don't know how much cause the previous owner did it. If i post pics, can someone give an estimate?

 

I used to, now it's brown.
