Re: cutting coil springs

3" is the rule of thumb... It's a more or less type of thing.

Re: cutting coil springs

One coil is about 2" for most trucks.

Re: cutting coil springs

1/2 coil = 1 inch kinda like c10crazy said 1 coil=2inches
also with that every inch or (half coil) increases spring rate by 10%
