well i did it, i removed the middle leaf of 5 on my 2004, it wasnt low enuff, so then i removed the 2nd leaf (from the bottom) so now i only have 3 leaf springs. It looks amazing now! Rides ok, want to stiffen it up a bit with lowered shocks! Hopefully that will work

Was wondering how things are now going with 2 removed leafs. Think 2" shackles and 2 removed leafs is ok?
