Default GMT900 Flip Kit Owners?

I've got a question for you guys running flip kits on these GMT900 trucks. I can't stand the look of the overload spring hanging under there, have any of you guys removed the overload?

I have helper bags and have no intentions of laying down any more power with this thing than the general gave it. This is just my daily driver, all highway miles and no dirt. Truck is a 2011 ECSB 2WD with McGaughy 4/7 drop.

Opinions would be appreciated, I gave up trying to search after about a damn hour.

Yeah well maybe I'll get over it then, but it's just been one of those little things that's bugged me.

ive thought of doing it because even with my notch i hit frame before the spring comes into play. my reason for not doing it yet is 1. dont feel like it lol and 2. im not sure if its acting like a slapper bar keeping down on axle wrap.
