Rear leaf removal

i have a 56 f100 with stock suspension and for the front I bought the short and smooth stack (I think that’s the name) so that’s supposed to lower it 3 inch’s. The rear I wanted to save some money so I just got the main leaf with reverse eye. The rear spring pack has 6 leafs and I wanted to see if I should remove any leafs while it’s apart. Thank you for any replies, anytime I need some advise or questions you guys help me out. Thanks.

Reverse eye main leaf lowers 2.25 inch so I don't think you would want to lower the rear much more than that or it will sit nose up. You could try taking 3rd from bottom leaf out only. I would guess that puts it down around half to three quarter inch. Next leaf out is fifth from bottom but then you'd be -1.5 inch. Adjustable front hangers allows +1 to -2 and gives you some room to play with the stance.
