Re: Rear spring lowering info
You can't cut rear springs.

Re: Rear spring lowering info
If all you want is a 2" drop, a 2" set of blocks & longer U bolts should do the trick.......

Re: Rear spring lowering info
Just buy some lowering springs and be done w/ it. They're only $100. Check out Early Classic, McGaughy's, or CPP. They all have quality stuff. You can't cut the rear springs like the fronts since the springs are tapered on each end. You wound't be able to fit the spring into the mounting plate if you cut them.
