Cut springs to lower the front

[SCOTI]

There's nothing wrong w/cutting springs as long as it's done moderately. If you cut more than 1.5 coils you will run into several probs: minimal suspension travel, shocks bottoming out, crossmember bottoming out, & if the vehicle is raised too far the springs will actually fall out of the a-arm pocket(this actually happened to my buddies 69 when we were driving off the shoulder of an off-ramp). For reliability, safety, & a better overall ride use drop spindles & then cut a little off your springs if you want it lower.
