Re: coil spring
one coil is good for 2" - 3" depending on the age and "droop" of the spring ... I would NOT cut more than one full coil off any spring.

Re: coil spring
Shane is correct. Note that there is nothing wrong with "cutting" a coil to lower your truck. What you do not want to do is "heat" the coil to lower it. Cutting=good, heating=bad, very bad idea...
