they dont make a 3 inch spindle and trust me DO NOT take out a leaf!! you'll be a lot lower but the ride is so ****ty!!!! just do a 4 inch block


you could do this
3in coil and 1 inch spindle(i think they make them) then a 4inch block

or

2inch coil and 2inch spindle then in the rear 4inch block

these two drops would give you a 3/4 drop

You dont want 4 inch blocks, they really arent safe. Go with a 3 inch springs and 1 inch blocks if thats what you, and I would suggest 2 inch spindles and 2 inch springs.

i agree with blazin97. if you pull out a leaf, your leafs left could snap in the future. and with a 4" block, there's a lot of leverage on your spring pack. you'll have a really bad axle wrap problem under acceleration resulting in spring breakage as well. and, yeah, they don't make 3" spindles for mini trucks, so go for a 2" with a 1" spring for a total of 3".
