Superlift front spring?

[scooter122983]

Is it possible to take off the bottom spring leafs on my front springs to achieve a lower spring rate, and then put zero-rates in to fill the void, or would i be able to do it without the zero-rates? Or would I be better off buying softer springs.

I removed the lower two leafs off my 6-inch Superlifts, and they ride much smoother now. I did have to pick up some shorter center bolts since I didn't use zero-rates though, and a new set of u-bolts since the old ones' threads were damaged from being pressed against the springs/axles.

i removed leaves out of packs numerous times for people. I also grease them with a heavy duty marine application style grease to help reduce friciton (and make stuff stick to them). It does work and there wasn't really a difference in lift odd enough.

i have superlift softride 6" front leafs... they are so soft that the leafs actually sit at 5" on the truck... then my ord zero rates put me back at 6"

Did that to the 12" fronts I once had on my 89. Took the bottom two out, lowered it some and actually made the suspesion move!!!
