Topic: Removing a spring

[85 toy crawler]

Can anyone tell me wich spring i need to remove to lower the center of gravity,the set up i have in the front is Marlins 5" spring'swould like to go down 1-2 "

Is this the front or the rear ?  If its the rear then dont remove a leaf, swap out with someone who has the 4" springs.  If u must remove a leaf then you need to remove one of the full length leafs.

I pulled 2 leaves in the rear with All Pro 5in and need to pull 1 in front.  It is all preference though. In the rear I pulled the bottom most leave and the leaf that is right below the clamp.

these are the front springs i need to lower,i am 4-linked in the back

not too sure on the fronts.... id be cautious about takin too much support outta those springs because you have the weight of the motor on them..wouldnt want them to bend.  I know it sucks but i would've gone with 4"ers

I would pull the 2nd leaf up from the bottom.

Thanks for the help

I pulled my bottom leaf in the front (the little one that's like 8" long) . Dropped me down about 3/4" and gives better drag link to spring clearance .

My reasoning for the second leaf was to keep a larger contact patch on the bottom of the leaf.. Don't even know if it makes a difference.

My truck is to high with the 5",the reasoning is removing a spring and letting out the air on my shocks to lower the center of gravity

Air shocks with out links? In the front? Wow weird.
