dropping the front end

I have a 64 short bed (hence, my name)and was wondering if anyone has a good, safe and economical way to drop the front end 2-3". I have heard that you can remove a couple of leafs from the springs, is this advisable? What else wuld be involved? Has anyone used another method with good results? Thanks for the help.

I removed the shortest leave from my 64 with no problems, but I would NOT recommend removing any more! You could get new, lower leaf springs, or just install a HEAVY 460 and C6 trans. This should drop'er nicely!
