Re: Help with heating the coils
Dang, I cant stand when all these guys bag on heating coils
Heres how you do it... MAY NOT be the BEST way, but does work & I havent had ANY problems from doing it
You start at the bottom & start heating it up (till its orange & starting to twist) then you start moving up the coil till you have reached the desired amount of drop
I like to park mine one some cement & have a buddy keep a tape measure ran from the ground to the fender well & keep track of how many inches of drop you've done
I have done up to 6" but the ride sucks, so 4" or maybe 5" is about the most I would do
Oh, & when you lower the first side it will be a lil lower than when you lower the second side (because its not level at that point)
Hope you get it done & have no problems just like me & hundreds of other people who have done it for the past 40 years
Now, I will go out saying one last thing here
Im not saying this is the best thing to do or anything you should do, just another option in the lowering world & if you want to be low & ride good & not worry about springs breaking, then bag your truck
Its not much different in price from drop springs & you dont have to have a tank & compressor, just a lil bit of air line & a couple schrader valve will do the job just fine
