alright, well the front of my truck is still to high for my tastes.

i've got 3" djm spindles and 1.5" western chassis coils up there. there is about 1 1 1/4" gap between my tires and the fender well. i figure if i cut 1 full coil off the springs it would bring it down just about perfect.

i'm running doetsch tech shocks on it with 255/50/17" tires

would cutting 1 coil out affect the handle enough for me to not want to do it?
