Front springs
If I cut one coil of the front spring how much lower will it be?
Can I cut less than one coil? Maybe 3/4 of a coil? |

Re: Front springs
probably need to know a little more about your truck. What year? Big or small block?

Re: Front springs
Ive always been told that in general it's about 2 inches for each coil.

Re: Front springs
Yes, you can cut less than 1 coil. I cut 1.25 coils and got almost 3" drop. I would not cut anymore than I did. I have zero problems.
