The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Removing leaves of rear spring to lower 33/34 coupe

If you want a slight lowering of the rear end, then yes, it does make sense.

One further note about adding plastic liners between the leaves or not is that cumulatively they add thickness to the overall spring assembly. Depending on the number of leaves and therefore liners, the original U-bolts will prove to be too short and will have to be replaced with longer ones.
