Heating Springs - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Alright so I have been pondering lowering my truck and I have an interesting question. Is heating up the springs [I]really[I] dangerous. Now I know that the metal will obviously become stiffer, but has anyone actually had their springs snap? And has anything come of it?

I had a 65 Cadillac some years ago that I torched the springs on multiple times and never had any problems, it rode like a dream.

If you look at any forum on the subject there are a rash of "don't do it!"s and "it's dangerous"s, but nobody ever actually has direct proof.

What do you think?
