    Anyone have these? Just trying to figure out what leaf to remove. 3rd from the top doesn't explain very well. Does that mean you count the top so remove 4th? It kinda makes sense since it is the large overload leaf. Comments or suggestions welcome. I am having what appears to be a stupid moment :beer:

    I just removed the large overload leaf. It was the 4th one down, but it came out easy enough once I removed the centering pin. Doesn't look like I lost any height so I just hope it settles a bit.

    Satoshi'd grill. blacked out badges. aftermarket sound system. De-chromed and color matched. OME 885s + Dakars with 3rd leaf removed. LR UCAs. Scs stealth 6 with 285 duratracs. BAMF sliders
    The only height you lost and will lose is the thickness of the overload, probably 1/2"-5/8". I removed the third leaf from my dakars, but they have 7 leafs, not 5.

    Yeah I do need to take it out and work it a bit. And these did start with 6 leafs, now down to 5. And yeah it was 5/8" thick so it lost at least that much height.
