I recently purchased a 2012 RAM 2500HD Outdoorsman 4x4 and am not to happy with the factory stance of the rig. The rear of the truck is considerably higher than the front end. I have noticed that three spacers are sandwiched between the leaf spring and the rear axle. Is it possible to remove any or all of these spacers to reduce the height of the back of the truck? If they can be removed, will this cause any issues with drive line geometry, etc.?

It sounds like your talking about overload/helper springs

They can be removed but you'll have much more noticeable rear end sag when loaded

I think the overloads are on top of the rest of the pack...

You could get a front level spacer.
