I have a 2.5" BDS lift on my 60 for about a year now. The springs have settle some, but the ride quality is still pretty harsh. I'm thinking of removing a leaf or 2 in the rear. Which one(s) should I remove? BTW, the rear has 8 leafs in the pack.
The bottom, shorter leaves. I would only do one at a time and check how it does then. Are your shackles bolts too tight, they can be a little loose and that helps the ride too.

Nope, BDS was $700 cheaper than OME. Besides, I plan on doing a SOA down the road and that'll improve the ride. I'm just looking for ideas to improve what I have for now.
Things that are proven to help improve the ride...in no particular order...
1. Lower tire pressure
2. Grease shackles
3. Grease between spring leaves
4. Remove a leaf (start from the bottom, do one at a time).
The above are free. AFAIK, after that it costs money.
I would try loosening those shackles bolts up. 60 ft lbs is alot of torque on them and really unecessary, mine are fairly loose and the ride is much better now.
