Default has anyone had the rear leaf spring dearched?

I'm thinking about doing it to my 23 reg cab. i have 275/60r20s and i really cant lower the front much with out getting close. but i would sure love to lower the back 4"s or so. i figure i can get 1" with the shackle and 3" from the spring. am i dreaming?

As long as you don’t have traction bars it will ride fine. Why not just flip the springs under the axle?

4.5" flip kit from Belltech. I'm sure there's other options on the market if you dig around:

Not on the forum much. I had mine de-arched 3" by Deaver in SoCal. Zero regrets. Cut the front springs by 3/4 coil, if memory serves (did all this almost seven years ago).
