I am dropping the rear of my truck a little further this weekend and was wondering what all I need to do after pulling the 2 middle leafs? Or is that it, just pull them out and I am good to go?

pull them out, bolt the overload leaf back in and put it back together

pullin two leafs out will get you about 1-2 more inches of drop.
im going to have mine dearched next month to see if i can tuck my tire. otherwise i will be putting 4 inch blocks instead of the 3 inch i have now.

right now i have 3" lowered control arms in the front, and let out the torsion bars a little, and 4" blocks in the rear. but the rear sits way higher so that is why i am pulling the 2 middle leafs. i may even let the torsions out a little more. gotta see what it looks like after pulling the leafs out. thanks for all of the information.

hey bro, i put on the smallest 14 inch tires i could get and that bad boy got real low (only 30 bucks a piece). one day i went to my pops house out in the country and got stuck on his driveway, we had to push it off (dragging all of the way) i got to the end of the road and heard a big ass bang. i looked back and i saw what ended up being my right side torsion bar bolt on the ground. i looked at the wheel and damn it was tucked. my frame was maybe 1.5" off of the ground. mad lows!
