Drop help??

[Wantavant]

Hey guys, have a quick question about cutting coils. I have done some research but still curious. I lowered my truck with 3” spindles and 2” drop springs and a flip in rear. Well the front did not have enough rake for me so I changed out to djm 3” lowering springs. Drivers side is low and perfect, pass side needs another 1/2 to 3/4 inch to be perfect. Anyone know how much of a coil to cut off for that small amount of drop?? Hate being ocd at times but I want it perfect. Thanks!

usually a full coil is around 2" drop...it hard to guess what your new coils will do if cut when your only wanting a half inch or so...I'd drive it a for awhile and let everything settle before you do anything. ..then cut a little at a time...kinda sneak up on it...i know its a pain...but your only dealing with a small amount..either that or add a shim to drivers side...

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I drove it all over today and just measured again, it’s only 1/2” difference. What do you mean by add a shim to the drivers side? I wouldn’t mind bringing up that side just a tad. Would like something easy so I don’t have to take everything apart again. Lol

Yeah I just looked at those but it’s says it raises it 3 times what the size of the spacer is. Which would be an inch and a half. Hmmmm. Wonder if I could just use some of those autozone spacers that go in between the coils?
