lowering the rear

so i have an 1.5 in. leveling kit, i am planning on taking that out and leveling the rear to the front, and goin to a 33, or 305. i have plans for traction bars that replace the f250 factory blocks, made by fat boy fabrication. so what are my options instead of blocks, remove one spring?

duhh...drop shackles? haha


Translated from Morse Code

short shackles would mess with the pinion angle a bit and may effect the ride if they are to short to let the spring cycle .

removing a spring messes with the load carrying of the truck.

I would find another traction bar style that doesn't incorporate a block and just use a smaller block for the fine tuning of the rear.

I had never heard of Fatboy I had to google
here is the link for anyone else curious to see them

A 1.5 inch tall block would do it. You could also take the bottom overload spring out for the same effect
