My plan is to lower it as funds allow, I did remove some leafs from the rear springs but cant attempt that with the front. The main leaf on the left side is cracked and will need to be replaced.

I have two good sets (and possibly three soon) of used front springs. I'm not that far away from you. Let me know if you're interested.
