hey guys i just bought a 2012 ram express about 2 weeks ago. im waiting to find a 3/5 drop. can only find a 2/4. im going to have to wait till around febuary to buy my kit, and was wondering the pros and cons to cutting the rear springs to level it out. is there anything else i would need to do? i seen another short thread where a someone had cut the springs all the way around and it looked great. will the ride quality be much worse than if i had just purchased drop springs? also how much of the spring would u need to cut in order to achieve the drop u want? any advice would be great thanks
