New wheels/tires & some lowering ?'s - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well, I finally got around to getting new wheels and tires...

But as you can probably tell, it's WAY to high in the front, so it's time to take action. Now, I know some of you guys will cringe when I say this, but I'm thinking about cutting the coils... maybe between 1 and 1 1/2. So what's the step by step procedure to do this? I.E. How do I measure the coils, and do the ends need to be in the factory position? Do I cut the bump stops?... and anything else I need to know.

No for the rear; I like rake, so my goal is to go only an inch or two in the rear. What's the easiest and cheapest route? I found these on brothers...
