So would I be better off without overload spring? Would that help any? Already relocated shocks and caltracs.

Yes get rid of your overload and the longer springs that you don't need. I took from the top down number 2&3 and the overload

I took out overload, and 2nd from top (leaving main and short one) and the rear sagged down to about 1" from c-notch bump stop.

Are you sure you didn't have the main and 2nd longest one and/or lift shackles?

The best 60' I can cut is a 1.62 w/assassin bars. If you have anymore tips, I'm all ears.

Out of curiosity do you remember the coilover spring rates you have on front? Are they the 550s or 450s?

My front springs are stock small block truck springs and yes my back sat down some in the back but I felt it helped with weight transfer
