    Front springs can be cut with an abrasive cutoff wheel to lower the truck if you have coils.

    My truck rode much nicer after cutting the springs. I cut the bottom of the spring 1 full turn and it was about 2" drop on my truck. I'd cut 1/2 of a coil and see how you like it and you can always cut a little more off if you want more.

    I did it to the red 92 in the signature, not the maroon one which has 2" belltech spindles. The red one had McGaughy&#39;s spindles on it.
