cut one coil.
zero just buy some drop springs
Roughly 1 coil = 1"
Maybe add a spacer to the springs you have now?
already has some on it, sits too low for me.Quote:

Im having a similer problem I have belltech 3" drop springs . Its too loose and mushy bottoms out when I drive it hard. Can you cut stock springs ? Will they seat properly? Safe? How about shocks any suggestions ? I got belltech nitro shocks they suck bad .anyone run QA1?
Ive seen the stock spings cut and was just fine. Just dont use a cutting torch. Use a cutting WHEEL so you dont over heat the spring and cause fatigue which will make them sag lower and un even.
My 92 actually rode better on a cut coil spring than on an engineered aftermarket spring. :thumb:
