Sounds like he was monoleafed lol thats my only answer to the rear end part because my truck used to be monoleafed and they snapped but im 4 linked now.

And to answer your question you shouldnt be driving it, and dont try to drive on one of them because thats what hold ur axle in place and your yolk front slipping out. If you try to drive on it you will get more than enough problems.

well bro...what you said would work, take the leaf of the corresponding size off of the other side..but you'll lose some ride height and it'll affect the ride quality

you could slap on some air shocks..it would work

are you trying to lower it? or keeping it the same height
