cut coils? how low
how low will my truck drop if i cut 1 coil off the front, and 1 and a half off the front, thank you very much for the answers
|
usually 1 coil is 2-3"
Make sure you cut the flat end of spring not the pigtail ! |
Only cut 1 full coil off of your front springs and only off the bottom. Any more causes a number of problems. Anything other than full coils then the springs will not sit right in the spring pocket in your lower a-arms. Springs start to get to short and can fall out of the pocket if the truck is jacked up anywhere in the front except under the a-arm. As you cut coils off of the springs it loses its ability to support weight. If you go more than 1 coil you will have to change your mounting studs to longer ones on your upper a-arm shaft because you wont be able to get enough shims behind it to get it aligned with the stock studs.

You may want to look at pricing on drop coils from McGaughy's or ECE. I know McGaughy's makes quality suspension components. I have them on both my trucks. They are usually $109- for a pair. Worth the investment IMO. Especially for the safety alone. Your suspension is a vital part of your truck and not an area you want to skimp out on. Just my .02 though.
