Not sure why removing the rear leaf spring clamps and gaining more body separation would be a bad thing. Then let the shock do its job of controlling the axle.
I am going for the weekend as well, so if I don’t have a helper in tow I will take you up on it . Either way I will find you .
I assumed Cab meant the spring would separate . Maybe he will clarify .
Yes the spring does separate
And does this damage the spring? Or cause a dangerous condition ?
