I could not find if this has been covered in the search fourm, but I recently removed the rear spacers on my 03 3500 SRW CTD. This lowered the rear 1.25" an gave a more level look to the truck. I had considered raising the front with spacers, or new coils, but my truck tracks so good now I was afraid to mess with the front end. The rear will still be 1/2" taller in the rear with the spacers removed, but still gives the truck a level look. This mod took only a little over a hour with the use of a friends shop, floor jacks, an impact wrench. Good thing is there are "no" parts to purchase an it is totally reverseable with in about the same time frame. I did obtain the info from another website for this mod. Also plan in the future on getting a 5th wheel trailer an I believe this will help with clearence between the top bed rail an the front overhang of the 5th wheel.

 

what are the spacers, the extra plates between the leaf spring and the spring pirch?

 

Yep... those are them. There is 2 per side. I've removed mine as well. No ill effects came from it at all.

 

Did the same, surprising that an inch and a quarter will make a difference in appearance, but it does look more level.

 

did you remove them all together or did you swap them to the top??

Also, wetspirit has detailed instructions posted in January.
I moved the spacers to the top and reused the existing bolts. The ends of the bolts that go thru the spring pack are a little deformed and might need to be filed or cut off.
