Not getting full travel up under normal circumstances (ie no load in bed) and the front hits bump stops while I have 2 inches of travel to go on rear when flexing out. Front coils already have a 1 inch spacer too and rear is stock. Imo it would be better to soften rear to allow fuller range of travel in rear before hitting front bump stops. I've considered 3 options: 1) remove the shortest leaf spring because on a flat surface, it's not engaged at all, but that may be too loose 2) cut shortest leaf spring down a few inches on a band saw, but that may cause the shortest leaf to put very high pressure on second leaf once it engages or 3) put a .5-1 inch spacer between 3rd and second leaf so that it doesnt add to the spring rate until deeper in the travel.
I'm definitely leaning option 3) but I want to see if anyone had any input
