Suspension questions

I have a set of cut springs (one coil has been cut off), how does it ride with a cut spring? And how would the rear ride if all you did is flip the stock rear end? Does anyone have any pics of this set up?

Re: Suspension questions

It will ride fine in the front with one coils cut but you will need to cut off the bumpstop mount to keep it from hitting the edge of the spring pocket. Flipping the rear will still ride the same as it does now as long as you remove the bumpstop mount and add shock extenders or drop shocks. This will result in a 2/5in drop, you need a 3/5in drop for it to sit level assuming you have the same height tires front and rear.
