Usually people go with daytona high rate/severe duty springs on the front.... but then I don't think anyone really has come up with anything "ideal" for the back... various stuff has been suggested/tried, getting the leafs de-arched at a spring place, or getting a leaf removed seem the easier ones.

if you remove 1 leaf how many inches will that drop the rear? anyone ever flip the leafs?

If you remove a leaf, the back end will be very soft but in your case, it probably doesn't matter. Some have flipped the axle and then used adjustable shackles. I simply had the rear leaf springs dearched.

Simple, take them off, drive over to a spring shop, have them do it, reinstall with new U-bolts, :D

Yeah, I've posted in your wheel thread but here it is again, but now, slightly higher in the front. Its running P225/55r16 tires.
