Front coil springs

Does anybody have pictures of there truck with 1 1/2 coil removed up front? I am under the impression that would be equal to 3".

Re: Front coil springs

edit: after re-reading your post I think I mis-understood the first time ... one complete round will equal about 2" - 2 1/2" of drop

Re: Front coil springs

Only pic I have. I cut mine 1-1/2. I also removed 3 leaves from the rear leaf springs since it had 8 of them.
