    95 Tacoma, 3.4l, M/T, 4WD. Replaced the rear leafs. Used the CS019R leaf pack. Removed the one leaf as recommended. Put 300 lbs in the bed for about 2 months. Still about 2" higher than I want & I have a marked vibration up to about 35 mph. Too much lift. So the question is: Do I need to put the weight back in & wait longer for the leaf pack to settle or do I need to take out another leaf? I don't want to go the other route with longer shocks, longer brake line, dif shim & longer LSPV bracket. Also, is it possible to remove a leaf with the pack still attached to the frame but off the axle? As always, TIA.

    Also, if I need to take out another leaf, which one, the very bottom one or the second one up?

    Well no replies so after two days of trying to swap leaves & not losing any lift I now have a set of Old Man Emu leaf packs for sale in the BST. And for those wondering about General Spring KC, I ordered Monday Morning & they arrived Yesterday.
