Default De-arched springs?

If I get my springs de-arched- how much load capacity do I lose, sagging become an issue, any posibility of axle hop.

There are no lowering kits for my truck so I can only do so much to sit level..

Man, I wouldnt recommend it! The spring would will loose its creditbility! Im guessing towing capacity woub be affected and sagging wounld be a strong issue.

I could find one but then I would also have to find front springs. I just want to sit level and still clear some wider tires.

If you want to de-arch the springs and still be able to carry weight they have to add another leaf or helper spring to the pack. I had this done on the my first ever dropped truck, I was able to tow and carry weight in the bed but the ride was way to hard.
