In my avatar I removed the upper most springs first. What you have to make sure of is that you have enough thickness to cinch up the u- bolt properly. That usually means you take out the upper most leaves and put them on the bottom to retain the thickness needed.

While doing this you might want to think about installing a Teflon liner in between the remaining leaves for a better ride.

I am sure others will chime in here but I never remove any of the main long leaves as they are stepped in length and removing one might compromise the integrity of your spring.

Finally, Posies makes a nice rear spring that with a non reversed eye to your shackles lowers the car by about 2” and the reversed eye a bit more. Check their website for info if you are interested.
