Does the general "1/2 coil in front= 1" & 1 coil in rear=1" " rule not apply to all springs which aren't progressive?
You just cut whichever length from the bottom portion of the coil and you're good, non?

2/4 but it will be a 3/5
Just FYI, for a true 3/5 I had to use shorter bumpstops than what was provided with the Belltech kit. I was almost sitting on the ones provided in the kit with just the 2/4. What I did was cut all the factory bumpstop cups off front and rear. Then I used the ones provided in the kit for the front(the ones with the threaded stud coming out) in the rear and bought Belltech's 1-1/4" tall bumpstops(part# 4922, New Belltech Bump Stop Kit Suburban Chevy GMC K1500 Chevrolet 96 95 99 4922 | eBay) in the front instead. This worked out perfectly.

Half a coil off the bottom in the front and a full coil off the top in the rear.

Yes, but the rear has the spring locator hoop on the bottom so you want to cut off the top.
