Any advice or precautions on doing this?

I just removed mine recently and other than the cleaner look, I did noticed the truck raised up in the rear.
I had recently installed a leveling kit and the truck was level. I noticed the day after I took the tire and swing arm off, the back of the truck sits about an inch and a half higher in the rear.
The ride feels the same but the truck is definitely higher in the rear.
