1978 Rear Springs....What if?......

If a person wanted to temporarily lower the rear of their '78 F150 2wd by removing some leaves, which leaf/leaves could I temporarily remove to level the rear with the front?

I want to temporarily do this for a show coming up this weekend, and plan to put the leaf/leaves back after the show. I don't plan to drive over 70 miles roundtrip. I have the 5 leaf packs by the way.

Thanks,
-Ron

By the way, I did search the forums and the archived forums and did not find the answer.

You'll see a post in the 67-72 forum by Sedric.

He had five leaves in his F100 and removed the bottom two. I did the same with my F250 to soften the ride. I like the results. It didn't seem to hurt the handling in mine.
