remember! cut less than you think you'll need! just a half a coil brings these springs down quite a bit.

Nothing was mentioned about rear springs. Remember that you cannot cut the rear springs. You didnt say front or back so this is just a reminder that they can't be cut.

I just saw a pic on another post today of a guy who cut the ends off another set of trailing arms to make himself a set of lowering blocks. Pretty cool.

Toss the coils upside down in a 5 gallon bucket of water, torch 1 full ring off the bottom.....after the springs "settle in", you will have a 3" drop
