rear leaf spring lowering question

Hello All!! I've got at 75 SWB 2wd that has been lowered with the DJM dream beams and shackles. I'd like to try to get it a bit lower, was thinking about trimming the front coil springs 1/4 or so until I get the front stance and maybe remove a leaf spring in the rear. Currently I only have 4 leaf springs on the rear, will 3 be sufficient for road driving? I will not be hauling anything either in the bed or with trailer. This is a weekend cruiser/car show type truck. I look forward to your thoughts!

Should be fine. Just remove the next to the longest one and you'll be fine ( rear leaf).
