Removing a leaf is a big deal. Make sure the leaf pack is correctly tightened with a new center bolt after you remove the leaf. Also remove the same leaf on the other side of the same axle.
Your ride will be softer, and, depending on which leaf is removed, could be too soft.

FYI: A hanger flip will will net you more drop without softening the suspension too much. Personally, I'd keep the leaf and flip the hanger shackle. That is, IF I wasn't an off-road guy.
