The short last leaf is the helper, that is the one to remove.

I think I may remove mine to give the rear a little more drop.

By removing the rear bottom leaf will it give u about another inch drop in the rear? and what do I have 2 do 2 accomplish this?
(step by step process)?

Soak u bolts in PB blaster or the like. Raise and support via rear bumper or frame. Dont pick it up all the way, just take most all the weight off the rear end. take off bolts, carefully raise it up enough to pull out bottom leaf. Remove leaf. Carefully lower back down. Tighten up bolts. Lower back down. drive around and possible check torque on bolts.

I havent done it before, but i bet it goes something like that. Thats the way i would do it any way

Also, just curious. How much payload are you going to lose by doing this and how much drop can you achieve? Im guessing around 1/2 inch to an inch maybe?

I guess so, I didn't realize that you were already lowered.
