it would put your axle on the frame.then you can go to smaller tires.

Just gettin rid of the 2 inside leaves won't leave it "on the frame" lol. That's why everyone uses 3 or 4" blocks as well, to actually get it close to the frame.

I have my 2 insides off and using 3" blocks and it sat the rear just on the bumpstops...one side was actually about 1/4" off the stops, but the other was on it.

I wouldn't advise anymore than a 3" and removing the leaves if you're wanting to go static and have any resemblence of a ride left. GET AIR SHOCKS TOO! When I had my Chevy wheels on, like in my avatar, I was down on 5" of block with all my leafs in cept the overload lol, and if it weren't for me adding the air shocks I would have been hitting frame on almost every bump, but the air shocks helped stop that.

In the front to be as low as the rear, grind off your bump stop brackets, or/and do the ball joint flip. That's what I'm gonna do as soon as I get some thinner wheels. Right now that bracket helps keep my tire from nailing my fenders

1HotDawg is right just pulling leaves will only get u about an inch drop or so, Throw a 3" block in there and shave down the bumpstop alittle...
