Re: Need Advice
I did the same thing with a shortbed years ago. I used a pair of springs off the shelf in a junk yard. I think they might have been from an early I beam ford? They were a almost a foot taller than my stock springs but were close to same wire and diameter. I trimmed I think 4 or 5 coils so that they had an extra coil? Or so than stock? I would say it was just like cutting 2 coils and hitting your bumpstops but backwards, like no up travel left - if that makes sense. I did retrim and install a few times. It levelled the truck with a 1.5" block in the back. It aligned good and drove well but bumps were harsh and they didn't stay too long after that winter drivability definitely was not 100%. Sorry the details are fuzzy. It was a long time ago. I thought it might help you out.
