[Super73]

A truck that used to weigh say 2260 on the nose and now weighs 1860 on the nose is not going to compress the spring the same [(IE why you cut it) The weights mentioned are the changes I saw with my own truck]. If the spring is not compressed the same it is not going to store the same energy. Hence why it is not lifting the front the same. Cutting a spring IMO is never the right way to lower a vehicle. Sure your lowering the truck, but the stored energy is even less of what it was with the heavier front end. Buying a spring with a lighter spring rate is the best way to do it.

If you want an accurate assesment, I need to know the weight of the front end and how far the spring is compressed in the A-arm at your desired ride height. Only then can we figure out the correct length/rate spring.
