[BFix] 11 pack leaf springs

I would lean toward eliminating the shortest spring rather than one of the
longer ones. They have the least effect on unloaded initial height and also
contribute less to controlling spring wrap. You know that each leaf you
remove will shorten the height by at least it's thickness plus some
additional sag based on the decrease in spring rate.

By the way, I should have added that I am looking to lose an inch off the
pack or off the rear of the truck.

 

Thanks ben

I have a set of fairly low mileage 11 pack leaf springs which are either
from JBG or BCB? Anyway,  does anyone know how much height I might lose by
pulling one of the leafs. Specifically the third longest from the top ?

 

Thanks Ben
