Cut Springs??
who has cut their front springs to lower the front and level the truck out? i just did a flip kit in the rear and wanted to just hack the front springs til i can save up and either get spindles (preffered) or new springs....
How many coils did you cut off? i currently have my bed off so i cant just measure the fenders

Re: Cut Springs??
1/2 coil usually equals about 1" of drop.
Normally 1-1/2 coils total,... is the max. (3" drop)
