Not a lot of weight to be saved by cutting that piece out . I wouldn't cut it out
Do you think no sway bar and rancho adjustable would be fine? Any thoughts on dropping to 2 leaves? I have no overload already leaving me with 4 springs at the moment. I wanna drop 2 more leaves and get drop keys and maybe take the front down just a hair more. I read the caltracs work better on mono leaves so I figure the less spring the better.Your correct on the sway bar . It is hollow. I did it to have more control on the weight transfer with the adjustable coilovers in front . The sway bar tends to not allow the front end to come up at all. On the same note you don't want to unload the front too much hence adjustable front coilovers . Coilovers are not really required alot of guys do fine with stock setup
