Larry, please don't remove spring parts from only one spring. One side will run "softer" than the other and your steering and ride will be very wonky. One way to remedy this is to make (or have made) spring shackle pieces that are shorter/longer until you get things level. I had to do this with my truck. Before I got it, something had happened that caused one side of the rear to sit about 1.5 inches higher. I used the shackle pieces from an old set of front end shackles I had (the front is shorter...different from the rear) and that took care of it. Good luck!

Edit...sorry, Larry...I forgot to mention the problem with mine was visible with old or all new springs and while I couldn't see a bend anywhere in the frame, I could measure it in height from the floor.
