    Bed off for a baby notch and some bracing. :) What's the best way of lowering the rear while still maintaining hauling capacity? Should I just get the leafs de-arched?

    I have 4 leafs right now. If i take out the 2nd longest one how much low would that give? 2inches?

    i need 2 1/2 inches to be where i want to be in the back.
    please help

    I recommend getting them de-arched, seems to be the best option you can get. I dont know if belltech lowering leafs would work on your truck. I'm not sure if the dual cabs springs are the same length as the single and xcabs.

    With your wheel setup, removing a leaf might make it too soft and cause rubbing. I'd just get it de-arched so you don't lose the spring rate.

    I just know making them a softer spring rate in the back will just make it loose and rub more. No problem man :)

    Truck is looking good, I need to ship a dual cab back to the states, NOW! :)

    I know a large truck (like commercial tractor trailer) shops should dearch leafs for you.

    Went to a local shop today they will de-arch my leafs for Php2000($40) and yes everything in The Philippines is dirt cheap.

    What I am hoping it will look like.
