    I have cut the springs before and had no prob with anything people do this all the time and never tell anyone that they did so its up to u just make sure u cut the same amount on both sides.

    cutting the springs will kill your ball joints...believe it or not.

    I would get some DJM lower control arms with stock springs and spindles, aligns perfect and will keep your ball joints in good shape for years.
    Of course the lower control arms are gonna drop it 4" not 3"...... just a thought

    Ran a DJM kit on the 2000 rcsb in my sig for 10yrs with zero issues.

    I agree with him i have DJM 4" control arms and it rides just like factory i would not recommend springs i think the make it ride like poop in my opinion and i have had mine droped for 3 years now and the ball joints still look like new
