95 150 x cab flare side. so what efect will it have to remove the bottom short leaf? lower it? ride quality? anybody done it?
thanks dave

 

Many people do this. Depending on how much your leafs are worn in is how much it will drop it. I got Heavy Duty Springs on both my F-150's and one has about 31k and removing the leaf would drop it maybe 1/2 an inch compared to my 99k F150 where it would drop about 2 inches. Your payload will decrease greatly, I mean greatly.

 

If you're talking about the overload spring, you shouldn't notice much change in the ride other then it will ride a little smoother actually.

The overload spring doesn't decrease your payload that much. I haul stuff all the time and my overload spring has been out for years. I can haul my riding mower, trailer and have hauled floor tile from time to time.
