OME Dakar leaf packs 3rd leaf remove from top or bottom?

when everyone says "3rd leaf removed" is that counting from the top or the bottom? Also is there any trick to getting it out?

 

I removed the 3rd from top of my Dakar leaf pack. You will have to take out the centering pin in order to remove one of the leaves, and you should use a c clamp or similar tool to squeeze the pack while you remove the pin. If not the whole pack may spring apart a bit more violently than you'd like. There is a stickied how-to on installing an Add a Leaf. Give that a look and you should be able to figure out how to get one out.

 

Heres one example. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/how-to-install-3-pack-aal-to-tsb-springs.261253/

This will just show you the process of breaking down the leaf pack and putting it back together. Once its apart take out the leaf and reinstall everything. I did this to my truck in my driveway in about an hour
