I assume you just cut the springs?
A set of air bags would work nicely up front.
(even only up front for now)
So nice to raise it up to change oil, or slip a floor jack under it.
(I know,... more money) Ha
It's definately a good thing, just something I never thought of that's all. I do plan on cutting them. One full coil should do nicely. I would love to bag it but the truck account is empty. Next winter maybe

You can get a pair of bags, brackets, fittings, line, and scrhader valves for under 300 if you shop around (I've spent under 250 for all of that new before). That will allow you to set the front where you want it and then be able to raise up for service...

You can do a complete air ride suspension front and rear with paddle valves (or a nicer simple setup like dloe's valves) for around 1000. Since a pair of lowering springs is around 300...that's 700 more for a fully adjustable suspension.... Or just Schraders all around for around 500 or less if you find a deal... So a couple hundred more for a fully adjustable suspension
