Jay... how about an update?



Also, do you have to remove the springs from the truck or can you do the job while they are still on the truck.

No Problems

I haven't found any negatives in lowering the rear. I now have have 6" of clearance between the bed-rails and the trailer! The trailer is still not level, but only about 2" high at the front. I may replace the 15" trailer tires/wheels with 16's.



No, you don't have to remove the springs, just drop the axle. Will probably take you about 2 hours and I would definitely recommend having a friend there to assist!
