Re: Lowered the 65 The Free Way

lol ya I figured you guys would ask Ive cut lots of pigtails on sedans and if you think about it sedans come only with a cup on bottom and that's it nothing holding the spring in but weight......
So i cut and always cut the top and i left the bottom bolted on...


Lift up the rear end stick jack stands under the frame drop the rear end and with my angle grinder i cut the first big spring facing me right in the middle then took my hammer and tie-rod splitter and hammered at the top spring between the frame a few hits until i seen part of the bolt and cut it with my saw-saw lift the rear end pull out the stands bam u got a good free drop.

If you want i can show you pics of what i cut and what it looks like when the truck is down ...
The spring aint gonna go anywhere trust me.
When i started to lower it i took off the bottom bolt on one side and it broke off so after i lowered this truck i drove it around a few times even went to the river side truck show with nothing holding that spring on but weight and when i lifted it up to put a new bolt and nut on it didn't move a hair from it spot....
So there not gonna move on ya.....
