Energy Suspension made a urethane coil spacer that was 1" @ one point in time. Check them out & see if it's still avail before using those 'twist-in' style spacers for the coils.

Which type of coil booster did you use? The knuckles or the black rubberish spacer? If you got the rubber type, don't cut a coil because it'll eventually break down and your ride height will go back to what it was, and if you cut it'll be even lower.

I think Belltech makes a poly one too that goes on top of the spring rather than inbetween. I have one on my s10 to level it out, but don't see why you couldn't put 1 on each side.
