Hello and welcome. I agree, very sharp truck. I'm curious about your ride after the spring removal. Do you haul very much?

 

Those pics are post removal. We removed the bottom leaf, not the overload, the one just above it. The ride is great! We live on a bumpy road with curves and it would kick the back out on some of them, scary when there is a car coming at you! No problems with it doing that now! We rarely haul, when we do it's only about 150#. Haven't hauled since lowering it. If you haul anything you could always put a set of airbags on your truck, Summit racing has them for about $300. You'll have a better ride all around then, my dad has a set on his 1 ton Ford, it rides smooth when it's loaded.

 

welcome to the forum, nice to see you started modding the truck

 

Haha. Nice fix on the removal of the leaf spring.

 

Thanks! I got the idea from searching on here, another user lowered his Dakota that way, only going further by cutting some off his coils in the front and also using drop shackles.
