Re: new here from jerz
Welcome from FT Worth TX. I use to cut one coil out of the front spring & use a car rear spring out of a mid 70s monte carlo, pontiac grand prix type car. But you loose all your hauling capabilities going with the car spring.

Re: new here from jerz
Welcome, and do a search on the board - there are lots of ways to drop, from the free torch method to the laying-in-the-weeds bag & notch.
Good luck!
