Re: Rear Drop Coils....
I agree. You could try that brake caliper paint. It's pretty tuff stuff!

Re: Rear Drop Coils....
I would buy new coils from ECE and coat them yourself.

Re: Rear Drop Coils....
You can't cut rears due to the way they attach.

Re: Rear Drop Coils....
If you want a 4" drop, and have 3" drop springs already, another option is to get 1" lowering blocks and new u-bolts. CPP has them. I did 4" springs and 1-1/2" blocks. Just another option to think about.

Re: Rear Drop Coils....
It doesnt matter what they are talking abou cuz the blocks go in between the axle and the control arm just like in leafs. You have order or make these custom cuz the ones that they sell for leafs wont work in coil suspension and vise versa.
