Re: Cutting Springs?

Sorry, no pics, but if you toss the spring upside down in a 5 gallon bucket of water, then just cut 1 full ring off the bottom with your torch you will be "good to go". As already mentioned, you will need to trim the bumpstops off the lower A arms. I left a portion of the steer stop, & used traction bar snubbers (bolted right to the arms) for bumpstops. The 1 full ring gives a 2 1/2 -3 " drop, & the spring will stay seated when you jack the truck up(the ride is not bad either).....crazyL
