Thank you!!!

Im about 1.500" - 1.750" roughly lowered. Im hoping it will be around 2.000" if it settles down. BUT then again I also think I want to go another inch or two lower but Ill just wait and see. Only thing with that is I would have to buy new coils OR cut the old ones... and I dont want to really cut a coil.

The back end is 2.250" taller than the front

i wouldnt cut the old ones, doesnt that cause the springs to be real uh springy or spongy feeling?? Or is that heating them to make them squish??
