does taking out your load spring really give you much more flex or is it not worth it?

or if there's any other ways to get more flex out ya spring pack?

Regards
Sam

Taking the load leaf out will make it lower and softer. It won't necessarily provide "more flex" as it depends on the weight on the spring whether you can get the full compression out of it.

The only sure fire way to get more flex from a leaf pack is to use a longer set of springs, which comes with its own set of issues.

That would depend on the stiffness of the new springs though, which you won't know till you fit them.
