Sport mono leaf spring question

[Orange99Exploder]

ok guys i have been wondering this for awhile and still cant come to a conclusion about this. as all of you know on the sports they have the crappy mono leaf spring set up. well if you take a look at it you will notice that there is a pack of metal strips above the leaf. Now i know this probably wouldnt be the best for ride quality nor for life of the spring (mines shot anyways) but as i look at this i sit and ponder that if one was to remove the pack of metal that it should in theory lift the rear, much like if you were lowering the rear you would add a block in between the axel and spring. So if you look at it as removing a "block" it should raise the rear-end correct? i may be wrong but me along with my uncle have sat and pondered this for quite some time and have thought about giving it a shot just for a small time until i get my hands on some 4dr leaf packs, so please any input would be nice and its a good topic to get the wheels turning in everyones minds

Actually, as shown in the photo below the spacers are below the leaf instead of above.

Removing the spacers will not change the height of your Sport. However, if you insert the spacers between the leaf and the axle the height of your Sport will be less.
