[QUOTE=7t9l82;1589151568]i cut 3/4 of a coil and while it is exactly what i wanted it may be low for some people. a guy that did spring work for over 40 years told me if you want to drop a coil " a good rule of thumb" is measure your wheel well height and decide where you want it then cut that much off the total height of the spring. i decided on a 2 1/2" drop and cut that off the total height of the coil which ended up being 3/4 of a coil. personally id start at 1/2 a coil and see if thats what you want. i cut one end of the spring.[/QUOTE ]

So you just let your spring relax and measured what u needed cut? I think I'll give it a go. I'll let you guys know how it works out.
Thanks again'

VBP has 10" bolts that are threaded maybe 5" to make adjusting easier. if you have them made get some nylock nuts to make sure the don't get loose.
