the way I did it was
1.loosen u bolts
2.then put a jack under the axle
3.Take the block out
This next one maybe different depending on wich spring u are pullin,Since I did a mono leaf I popped the lil bands around the spring and slid em off.Also thereshould be a lil bolt under the piece that holds the shock on...look underneath and u can see it.
4.then put it all back.

I dont know if this is the correct way to do it but its a easy way to do it and is safe too...

how much more would mono leafing it make me? if i just pull the center leaf woulf that get me close to 5 inches of drop in the back with the 3'' blocks i already have...or would i need to mono leaf it?...i dont want much rake at all if any...but im tryin to not have to spend the money on the 3'' lowering leafs to make it a 5/6....thanks

I believe pulling a leaf gives you another 1.5".
Most people on this board will tell you not to monoleaf. I've known people that have run monoleaf setups with no problems, but it's not recommended.

It puts a lot of stress on the leaf and have been known to break. A lot of axel warp too. Pulling a leaf is not a bad option though.
