i want a 4/6 but don't have the money.
i have enough to get the rear drop kit from ECE
i know it wont be that great of a ride but i want to drop the truck.
has anyone cut the coils to achieve a 4'' drop?
IMO... that's a little dangerous. I wouldn't recommend going lower than 3" in the front with only springs. And for me, I wouldn't go lower than 2" in the front with springs only..... For instance, if you run 3" drop springs up front and you jack your truck in the air, the springs have the tendency to fall out of the "pocket."

Just my $.02...
