is it possible to swap a leaf or 2 out of the rear spring packs into the front spring packs to beef up the front end?
my front end sags about 2" lower than the rear and i would like to even it out without spending money, i'm not concerned about hight as it has about a 2" lift already.
 
Just about anything is possible. I've built several sets of frankenspringpacks for various projects. I have found that the best way to add beef to 60 springs is with an additional long leaf from another pack. The mil wrap spring with the mill wrap cut off makes an excellent addition. I also replace the pins with Rockford pins, which means you need to drill out the hole to 7/16.

Messing around with spring packs is a lot of work, and if I were you, I'd just find some used springs with less sag.

Do not take any leaves out of the rear. You will miss the load carrying capacity.
 
if i was to add springs, say the mil wrap spring to my spring packs where would i place it? top bottom or middle? at the moment my front pack has only 2 full length springs in the pack wheras the rear has about 4.
