Cut springs to lower the front

[69 longhorn]

I dont think cutting coils is the best way,but I have done it. If you cut 1 full ring off,expect about a 2 1/2-3" drop. I did this to my longhorn,& have been running for 8-10 yrs. You will get a little bump steer due to the angles of the tie rods. On a drop spring,2" is about max & still retain good front geometry. I have a set of spindles planned,but havent done them yet. I would go with a 2 1/2" spindle,& if more drop is needed,you will have a choice on 1,1 1/2,or2 " springs. If running a cut or short spring,you will also need a shorter shock.Good luck.....69 longhorn.
