Re: Cutting coil springs
I had lots of bolt left on mine to adjust my camber. I guess it depends on the truck. Mine came down 5" in the front with cut springs. Rides the same as it did stock. I actually wish it was a little stiffer. But yes 57 is correct. One coil = aprox 2" drop. I put in heavy duty shocks and its a bit better/stiffer now. I might even try heavier 3/4 ton coils and see how they feel. Anymore than 4" and you will have to cut out your front metal bump stop base because you will be bottoming out on them over bumps. I am going to cut off the metal bump stop base and reattach the rubber bump stop to the lower control arm to give me more travel... for now anyways. Hopefully I will bag the front over the winter.
