leaf springs, 55 clipper

Several years ago I had the rear springs replaced on my 55 Panama. The new springs give a firm ride, in fact too firm.
I can stand on the rear bumper and the car does not lower at all. I pick up all the road noises. I can see that there are six very strong looking leafs on both sides. I suspect I can improve the ride by removing one or two of the leafs from each side.

Has anyone done this or have any comments? It appears an easy thing to do.
