How many leaves did you pull? I have 4" blocks and removed a leaf and don't hit the frame unless there is a load in the bed.

i pulled the two of them. so only if i have load in the back it will hit?????

When my truck was just lowered i pulled the middle 2 out. So i had the big one and the overload. I had 3" blocks and i rode on my bumpstops. It was kinda bouncy but not as bad as hitting the frame. I just left my bump stops in so I would not hit my frame.

New shocks....I know you say you dont have the $$ but its the best answer. I have 3" blocks, no leafs removed and indexed torsions about 4" and adjusted....removed the rear bumpstops entirely, shaved front stops....ask pearl on here....rides like a caddy....and I havent done my shocks yet....deciding between Bilsteins and Toxics or Nitro drops.....

oh yeah i have no bump stops front and back..yeah was thinkin of saving for some shocks

yeah i dont think the shocks are too expensive...

my truck has the two center leafs pulled. i put in a 2" drop block inplace of the 1" that was there, loaded my quad atv (midsize, not a huge biatch), and now im bouncing off the frame with pot holes and heavy bumps... just took it like that for a 4 hour cruise... hwy is not as bad... but ya. i'm bringin my truck in to a spring shop next week to see what he thinks of tossing 1 leaf back in a de arching. i want to carry a small load and pull a tent camper but still be slammed...lol
