well, hopefully someone here will have some answers for me....i just removed my front coils to do the ball joint, bushings, steering upgrade kit from PST...well, when i took out the coil they look to me like they've been cut using a plasma cutter or something i would guess....are stock out of '86 silverado 1/2 coils supposed to be smooth at the ends? or rouch cut like mine? they are not the least smooth. do they come like that out the coil factory?? cut i'm thinking that the bozo before me just cut/heated them up and that's why (along with my ball joints being worn) that i have tires always wearing out on the inside....along with something else (i have like 6-8 shims on my upper cont. arms on each side) what's up with that?? i hope ya'll can help me... i like the ride height in which it sits, but i hate having to buy new tires and front end alignments every 10,000 miles. if that!!!!

so, if it turns out that they did cut my front coils.....where can i get some new stock height coils (or buy them from someone on here) with a 2"drop spindles? and also, i know for sure they removed one of my leafs (or more) in the rear...i currently have 3 leafs springs and 1 of them is the big load bar....how many leafs come stock (again '86 swb 1/2 2WD)? it sits nice and even stance so by replacing the rear to stock height with proper leafs (so as not to sag when i put a damned weed eater in there!!!!) i guess i would have to buy the lowering 2" shackles to be even all the way around?? i'll try to find a pic of the truck in its current shape (before i removed coils and shocks ) thanks, joey.
