62 - Can You Cut This Type of Spring?
I have cut springs in the past, but never this type (see pic). Can you cut this type of spring, or will it pop out if it is cut? I am only looking to trim them down a little, nothing extreme.

No, no way to lock it down if you do...

I have seen people do it here on the web sight and they used a u bolt through the frame rail to lock it down. But I would not recommend it.
