I got a suggestion to remove the overload springs in the rear. Should drop it about another 1/2-3/4". Has anyone done this before?
It looks like it'll be pretty easy to do though.

Absolutely, and you'll gain better ride quality as well.

I'd do it, and maybe the bottom leaf as well. You really should replace the u bolts when you do.
Then get some timbrens.

I'll get some better pics tomorrow. I couldn't be more happier with the outcome, it dropped it considerably! And it was actually fairly easy to do.
