Re: lowering

Joey,
You gave me a little more info to work with over here than my site.

As noted, they are sheared from the factory, so the end will be smooth. It sounds like they were cut with a torch, not a plasma cutter.

The amount of shims are irrelevant if the truck is aligned. It takes however much it takes, nothing you can do there.

You can get stock height coils just about anywhere, but if the truck is lowered, you are going to be higher than you are now.

There should be 4 leafs + 1 overload on a standard 1/2T suspension. Removing 1 should drop the truck about 1-1.5" depending on the state of the springs.
