I'm slightly taller in the rear can I put extended shackles on just the front to level it up?
I'm running the add a leaf all round with the helper leafs in the rear.

I'd try pulling the add-a-leafs from the rear to see if it levels out, should also soften the suspension up nicely.

Can this this be done without undoing any bolts?
