Need to lower rear of truck...Leaf removal?
I searched but could not find anything helpful. I bought All Pro's front a-arms and coilovers and rear leafs a while back. The rear leafs are 3" and the fronts are adjustable. My problem is that I have to crank the front coilovers up so high to match the rear that it rides worse than stock. I also have went thru a set of all pro's "high angle" cv boots in just 6 months (and only off-roading a couple times -very lightly). I have been trying to figure out how to drop the back end down so I can take some of the pressure off of the front. I thought about removing a leaf in the pack but have no idea how much that would drop it down or what it ride like. It is my DD and the heaviest load it ever carries is my dirtbike every once and a while. Does anyone have any ideas/experience with this? Thanks for any help!

Not familiar with that exact spring pack, but typically, you can pull the 2nd leaf from the bottom to lower things a little bit. This will help the springs settle faster and if they go too low, then add that leaf back in. Also a shorter spring shackle (if you have a longer than stock pair on there now) can lower things as well.

I wasn't smart enough to save my original leafs when I switched them out. I moved with them twice and they finally met the dumpster. Also, since I am running 33's I can't go back to the stock height, I just want something between 0-3". Good idea though.
I am thinking removing a leaf is gonna be the only way. I guess I will start from the 2nd from the bottom and see how that works out, thanks! The shackles are stock so I can't shorten them up any. Thanks for the help guys!
