Re: Cutting Springs?

The odds of a brittle spring snapping and blowing out a tire causing the truck to careen out of control and burst into flames are slim to none. Fatalities (or accidents for that matter) caused by improperly lowered vehicles are probably about as common as lottery winners.

That being said, if there are players, somebody has to win.

Having a spring crack or sag though regardless of any safety risk is going to put you right back in the boat of needing a new spring anyway. You can always sell the OE springs to get back a few bucks.

Not here to shun anyone, my own father has cut the springs on every truck and hotrod he has built and never had a safety problem. They just ride like a hay wagon afterward.
