Re: 1 coil cut?

if you cut a full coil and it is too much it is difficult to glue a piece back on

I heard if you mix JB Weld and super glue it will stay together nicely.

Re: 1 coil cut?

Yes, you can cut a half coil and decide if thats enough. If you do, drive the truck to allow the suspension to settle before you decide if you want to cut another half.
