I removed three leafs from the front of my 37 with no problems. The ride was better, but lowered the truck less then a inch. Each spring is only a 1/4" thick, and takeing off the bottom three did little to lower it. I was after the better ride. No matter where you by springs from, take them apart and add Teflon liner to each spring. Most aftermarket shops sell it. Its just a roll of teflon you cut to fit for each spring. It will improve the ride and noise 100%.
