I want to lower my 51 3100 just a little more in the front. Right now I have about 4 leafs in the front I want to go down another inch. I don't want to pull a leaf. cause it will sit on the frame thats why I add a leaf to raise it so I still have suspension. Could I flip the eye making it a reverse leaf spring? Would it work or what r my options to lower my truck another inch without removeing a leaf

Won't solve the problem there is only so much room between the frame and the axle. If it's hitting the frame and you want to lower it more it's time for drooped spindles.
