Removing a leaf to lower a 1992 f150?

I was wondering if anybody has removed a leaf out of the spring pack to lower their truck. If you have how much does it lower the truck?

also if u get longer shackels check ur perches ford is notorious for the rear perches and shakels rotting out they mak ea hell of a racket when they go too

and if u arnt very mechanicly inclined and they need to be replaced take em to a shop
u have to lower the gas tank drill and punch out rivits"they are a bitch"

but taking a leaf out aint a good idea especialy if u ever load the truckeven a big quad could boddem ur suspension out if u mess with the leafs

You can purchase a 2" or 2.5" levelling kit from LMC Trucks. Easy to install, and inexpensive.
