1987 4Runner rear sag question on OME leafs

I have a 1987 4runner that has shot rear leaf springs. I would like new rear leafs, but want maintain original ride height. I like what I hear about the Old Man Emu CS009R's for this rig but worry about the 2" of lift making me modify the front suspension as well. Is it possible to buy the CS009R OME Leaf Springs and simply remove one of the leafs from the pack to achieve the factory ride height, so I can run factory length shocks all around and not have to crank on my t bar or do spacers up front? Has anyone done this?

It'll look fine and drive GREAT! Don't worry about the front. After you see her @ss up in the air you will feel like a proud new owner The rake won't be that bad, especially after they settle. I wouldn't remove any leafs but if you aren't happy swap a saggy worn one from your old pack.... I still wouldn't do that myself though because those springs are LEGIT

Don't forget shocks.
