'97 2WD EB and I'm about to do the shocks front and rear I'm not sure if they've EVER been done (@104K!). The front looks like a cinch, easy bolt-off-bolt-on and we're done. My Q is on the stock rear shock/leaf spring setup, of which I do not fully understand it's structure and functionality. I know I'm on a SUA setup and I'm going to be using lowering blocks, I hope to get about a 2" drop (I first have to see how effective a torsion twist is on the front). I was considering removing or replacing the overload leaf. Will I even need an overload leaf (I never tow anything heavier than a sea-doo, rarely off-road, but I do carry about 150lbs of electronics in the cargo den everywhere I go)? Will the dropped suspension be any more likely to flex to the overload bar?- In this case the snubbers would be there to cushion the flex. Will removing the overload leaf lower the truck additionally or not, and will not having affect ride-comfort? Conversely, will installing a thicker composite load leaf with snubbers displace the blocks' lowering distance? Thanks ahead-
