Anyone ever pulled leafs

[nortex]

I want to do a poor mans drop until tax time. How many leafs plus my 2" shackles would I need to get a 4" rear

there was a pretty lengthy discussion about it on my build thread I have heard if you pull the middle leaf (not counting the overload) plus two inch shackles should put you right at the four inches your looking for. but most people will tell you to be prepared for a horrible ride

Correct of the leaf to pull, incorrect about the ride!!!!! I've had 3 different dropped trucks like this! It rides better than stock, but kills your payload. You do have to notch the bed right about the shackle though!

Look at my truck all it has is the shakle one gets to even it out.

Soft, bouncy ride. No payload.

Why cut the bed

I believe he is referring to a c-notch, not cutting the bed

nope he is talking about cutting the bed. there is a guy that lives across the street from my friend, that is running shackles and pulled a leaf. there is a crossmember on the bottom of the bed right in front of the shackles you have to notch that otherwise your leafs will hit them. if you look under your truck you'll see what I mean. if that guys truck is home tomorrow I'll try to get a pic.

if you use two inch drop shackles and pull at leaf it'll put you between three and four inches drop no need for a c-notch
