Coil cutting and smaller shocks

[slapthefunkyfour]

I've got a '66 C20. I plan on cutting a coil off the front tonight when I get home from work.

I was wondering if anyone else has done this and then still used the stock size shocks? I'm guessing that the stock shocks will still work, since I'm not dropping it very far.

How much drop can I expect with cutting 1 coil out? 1.5 coils out?

I'm also wondering, how long did it take you to do it? I'm hoping I can finish it in one night.

In the rear, I'm just going to put 2" blocks under the axle. Somebody on here did a really good write up about how they did theirs, so I'm gonna attempt the same thing.






edit: whoops, I swear I put this in the suspension section. Mods, feel free to move this to where it belongs.
