Remove part of a suspension lift.

[one4fun]

My 86 K10 has a 4" Rancho suspension lift that I would like to slight lower. I am running 33x1250x15 and don't like the amount of gap between the tires and body.

Can I remove a leaf or two from each wheel to drop it? I would like to take it down an inch or so..

If so, which leaf should be removed? Would it require an alignment or any other changes after?

Thanks.

You can try pulling leaves, but it's all trial and error. You also may end up with saggy or cracked springs over time.

Best bet is to replace the front springs. If you have blocks in the rear, you can swap them out for shorter blocks.
