I got to thinking.... That front end needs to come down just a smidge. I have already cut my stock springs a couple of times trying to get the ride height just right. So, I pop out the front springs this afternoon to do a little quick surgery. Well, I tell you.... The spring rate changes dramatically after a couple of coils have been cut off. Long story short, needing only an inch more turned into 3-inches more! Haha, what A mess. So, plan B is in motion. The Belltech 2/4 should be here early next week! Reminds me of a bad haircut. Oh well, to tell the truth I was a little apprehensive riding around on those cut coils anyway No pics, so I can hide my shame!

I was gonna offer, I have OEM springs for a 2011 that I could let go of for a low price. Glad your getting the kit though.

Tomorrow I may just chop off a little from the rear again to match the front. If I do, I will snap a few pics.... Be fun to play with anyway,,, since I have the kit coming.

thats why the majority of the people don't like to cut coils. It does change the ride. Get the proper stuff and do it right the first time.
