I took out the short, thick bottom leaf. Now i have very little weight capacity though but it looks cool!

Hey Russ,
The truck I am referring has a 76 F150 frame/springs/etc. with a 73 long bed body on it. I don't have any pic's of it, I seldom take it out of the garage, maybe I will have time on Sunday afternoon. I will shoot you one if I do.
Jeff

One option is a drop spring mount.

I put the rear shackle kit on mine and it leveled right out. Full load cap also.
