The front has one, and not the rear because there is more lateral force on the axle due to the steering. There are only two leaves by the look of it, and they aren't particually thick, unlike a cruiser or patrol that would have 5+ leaves in the pack. There are also some rear leaf setups with panhard. Usually they only have one or two leaves.

I wouldn't remove it. You would probably get death wobbles on the road, particually as the spring pack bushes wear.

That may well be so, if your using standard front leaves. But I have not seen an aftermarket lifted spring pack with only 2 leaves. They are usually 5 leaves at least, which pretty much matches the rears.

My tray had 3 leafs prior to the upgrad with a TD wagaon. It now has 5 I think on the drivers side and 4 on the passenger. The panhard is still on and totally opposite to most, the drivers side sits higher. (dam 31 rub on the flares now)

I think I was quoted 6 leaves front and rear. And currently i have 3 on the front.
