In lieu of starting a whole thread for a hopefully simple question....
My M1009 seems to be sitting a little low in the back. I'm not interested in putting a lift on it, and I really don't want to dump a ton of money into new springs, so I need a cheap way of getting the back-end up to level the truck. I could get some air-shocks or spring shocks, but the ride is good as it sits. So this is purely ascetics- I want it to sit level when it's on level ground.
Looking at the picture attached, can I simply pull those two bolts out and move the leaf down, discarding the link? Would that lift the back an inch or two to make the truck sit level?

Picture to show how it seems to sit low in the back:
