Lowered the truck some more today!

Back in the winter 70GMCer and I lowered my truck using 2.5" drop spindles in the disc brake conversion but it wasn't low enough for me. Today we cut half way between .75 and 1 full coil off a set of stock springs using a 3" air cut off tool. I was suprised to get more drop than I wanted. Normally in the past I have cut 1.25 coils off and got 3" drop. Today we got about 2 3/8" drop (now almost 5" total with spindles). I was hoping for only about 1.75" drop. I'm planning to try to add a set of coil spacers if they are still available. I'd like to bring it up about .75 inch. We also installed new KYB Gas Adjust shocks Here are some pics taken with my camera phone. I'm real happy with the rake right now with my rear 4" coils. The whole job including cutting the coils took 90 minutes. Thanks again Steve! Here's a few pics. First pic is a BEFORE pic! Second is After shot!.
