it wouldn't be the best idea to remove a leaf from a marlin crawler spring pack because they are electronicly tested and adjusted for spring rate, arch, and length for the optimum performance on and offroad. I would recomend lifting front more (i.e. longer shackles or different springs like marlin's 4" or 5" but just remember NO BLOCKS but who doesn't know that) or reduce lift in rear with shorter shackles. i strongly recomend not removing a leaf from marlin's pack.
