Greetings. I am currently building a 1952 1/2 ton with the stock straight axle. My search of this forum for inexpensive lowering options brought up the repeated suggestion to simply remove leafs from the spring packs. My question is, does anyone have experience with how many and which leafs to pull. I want it lower but don't want to deal with frequent bottoming. I will probably use lowering blocks in back. If you have personal experience with this technique I would love to hear how it worked for you. Thanks - Larry
