1 and 3/4 cut off. No bump stops. As low as I can go.

Re: Pics of cut coil rigs
Caddy like, soft, It will hit on a large bump. I removed 6 of the 8 leafs in back. I love it. A trick to removing the front springs is to unbolt the lower control arms at the frame, instead of undoing the ball joint.
** when you take them out for the first time, BE SURE to use a spring compressor! I have cut so much off, there is not seat pressure when I jack up the front end.

Re: Pics of cut coil rigs
I bought this Suburban like it is. Front coils are cut, not sure how much, rear appear to be drop coils. Looks awesome but rides like CRAP, it's always hitting the stops.

Re: Pics of cut coil rigs
My old 63. 1.75 cut, bump-stops removed. 70's Chevelle springs in rear.
Ride just "okay" as long as you didn't hit a big bump.
