Re: how to lower by heating fr springs help???
I heated all 4 a while back; rode the same and was fine for the next year or so that I owned the truck.
DON'T DON'T DON'T heat the spring in the middle! Heat at the bottom right at the control arm slowly; the truck rides on the middle coils(keep your ride quality), and it does settle more as it cools.

Re: how to lower by heating fr springs help???
I dont know if it has already been said or not but..
after you cut the spring, the right step after that is to heat the very end of the spring a couple inches from the cut, and flip it over and push it against the ground to flatten the end down flush. just thought i would throw that out there.
