Lowering a 3/4 ton question
Can I do the old school chopping off a loop with this type of spring? I see the top & bottom loops are smaller in diameter.

Re: Lowering a 3/4 ton question
Nope. But, you could do the old school heating the springs up thing. It's not typically recommended, though.

Re: Lowering a 3/4 ton question
The drop coils will be the plan, I was just hoping to go the "cheap route". To be honest, it wasn't until tonight I noticed the shape of the coils

$99.99 is pretty cheap for drop coils.
