I removed a leaf on my truck and it definitely helps the rear squat on launch. My truck has a comfortable ride and it's not mushy. I guess everybody's trucks are different but I like how mine turned out.

 

DealerJim; which leaf did you remove?

 

I have the 4" drop shackles and removed the second leaf from the bottom. The shackles alone made the rear feel a little loose. With the leaf removed the ride firmness is fine but you only have a 300-400# carrying capacity. But it squats great at WOT.

NoSurprise

 

Has anyone tried re-arching?

 

so which leaf did you guys remove? MORe squat on launch sounds cool
