If you heat the spring it will collapse, Ive seen guys on compD cut them with a band saw or right angle grinder (slowly).... but my biggest issue is the top of the spring from factory has a 3/4 coil on top that is flat... If I cut that off then its just the nub going up hill that will be pressing into the rubber boot..... thats what Im not a fan of

the truck looks good man nicely done. yea cutting and or heating up coils usually isnt the greatest idea if ya really wanted to go crazy you could cut the coil bucket out and raise it up an inch or two and still have the same nice coils it just a thought tho.

Looks great! I am have been considering lowering mine for a while now. I just got some new 315s so it's gonna be a while. I plan on taking out my 2" spacer up front and then dropping the back 2" or more to make it level.

Have yall seen these? They say its for the 94-97s only though???

Hey how did you cut your rear blocks down? i put stiffer and heavier springs on my truck and now the *** end sits really high and i thought if i could cut the blocks down that would be the easiest way to bring the rear end down a little do you have any suggestions
