Has anyone ever cutted their front coil springs to lower their truck? I heard its an easy way to drop the front.

I will be the worst ride inthe world. Spend the 140 bucks and get some cheap springs and save your stocks.

Bad idea cutting springs when you can buy shorter ones for next to nothing anymore.

Some guy I knew cut his springs, the truck DID come down and looked good but it looked like he had hydro's because all that thing did was hop

LOL yeah thats what I figured. What about $99 DJM coils? How do they ride?

I do and have on pass cars - not on my trucks
On 2 of my cars - I only cut .75 of a coil
It brought the nose down enough to give me the rake I was looking for
maybe 3/4 of an inch or maybe an inch max.
It did not effect the ride.
If I want more of a lowering effect - I would use coils
Both of my trucks have new 2" drop coils.

I used BellTech coils on my 91 and Hotchkis on my 03

I have cut a full wrap off of my coils and they don't ride that bad. Or maybe I just don't remember how it's supposed to ride. I don't find it bad though. The rear is my problem. I advise you not to pull a leaf spring to lower the rear. I put the DJM shackle, hanger kit and it rides ok but i'd like it to be better. I have auto zone air shocks right now for when I haul my rancher(4-wheeler). Does anyone know if I could get a better ride by swapping shocks.
