Chopping coils
Ok, now I'm prepared to receive tons of negative feedback on this subject. BUT, I have to ask.
Is cutting coils really THAT bad? I'd like to see my truck lowered, and I was hoping to spend my tax return money on it. But now I've got bills, high gas prices, and the union screaming at me for more money. I'm definetly going to do drop spindles and such in the future, but right now I'm a broke kid getting ready to graduate high school. If I just cut 1-1.5 inches off the front coil (with a hack saw or similar) and 2 or 3" off in the back, would anything bad happen? By bad I mean: premature wear on neighboring parts, broken shocks, stuff falling off on the freeway, crappy suspension travel, etc. Just asking, I haven't actually done it yet. Would like to hear everyones views. Thank you guys.
