    I'm looking to install some 4x4 leaf springs on my 2014 2wd 5-lug crew cab. I would like to get about a 2" drop in the rear with them. Anybody know how much drop you get when you use the 4x4 leaf springs?

    Probably how worn out they are. Also pull the 3rd leaf.
    You can achieve 2” with block though

    Ok-I guess if I bought new ones I can plan on only getting a 1" drop. I don't want to use blocks. Any experience with de-arching leaf springs to get more drop?

    Thats Just shorting the life if you de arch.
    If you throw some 4x4 on with 3rd leaf pulled you should be fine. If its still to high you can use blocks, they arnt sketchy if thats what yor afraid off
