Nice. I have the five leaf 56" rear springs....you don't remember which two leaves to be removed do you? I just did the front spindles and two inch shackle....thinking that the AirBagit/Chassistech Ebay 2"drop hangers Suburban would actually work. WRONG WRONG twice on those guys. Wrong wording on Ebay ad, and not enough Suburban experience for me resulted in three weeks of waiting for the better answer to arrive in the mail, while my truck is scattered all over the driveway. As of now, I have a dropped front with a 3" rake difference to make up. I really don't want to cut or flip, but I definitely agree they look wicked. I drive mine. 3-4" all around is good for me. Back to the original magical question......which two leaves please??? LOL

4.5/5, 2.5 spindles, 1 round cut off of stock springs, flip in the rear.

damn, that looks sharp. That's the look I'm after right there.

Are those stock width rally rims in the rear, or have they been widened?
