If I could find custom springs for a Wrangler for under 500 bucks 7 years ago you can find something for your truck.

Hey, you can look at the companies history. I can guarantee you are 100% incorrect and they are 100% correct. 100 years of a company with a specialty in spring steel is a little more than your "in my opinion"I have a 17 crew cab 4 wheel drive 1500 with a hemi. I have cut coil springs on the front since 1968 (with rear leaf springs) and coils all around with NO problems. The dude that works for a spring company must be his own best friend. The only time you can screw up is if you heat them or cut too much off. You cut a little, try them and if it isn't enough, you cut a little more. The more you cut, the stiffer the coil gets. I do have 1 question: To level the rear, how much do you cut off? (Not to lower but to level the rear with the front. Most of the springs I've cut must be cut 1 full coil on both ends of the spring aligns up with the upper and lower coil spring pockets. Any one with experience on this question with same spec truck (no 2 wheel drive regular or extended cab, I would sure appreciate an answer. Thanks in advance.

If you have the spare money to waste on a 25-35 thousand dollar vehicle and you don't have the money to put 500 worth of springs on a car you need to evaluate your spending habits. 500 today is not a great sum of money and is a typical car payment in the price range.So I'm curious, with the amount you're throwing around "If you can't afford it" I assume you earn somewhere around the median household income in the US and somehow think it makes you special?
Unless you're an engineer or a serious outside sales rep for whatever company you work for, your income is less than impressive so stop touting "if you can't afford it".
That being said, I've cut more coils off more cars that cost more money than you can count.
Hell, I've cut into new Z06's on several occasions to install solid motor/tranny mounts for owners who didn't wanna pay labor to drop the K member and rear end.
Having the money doesn't mean you want to spend it on crap that's unneeded. That's how you end up NOT having money.
I work in cryogenics now, my W2 looks stupid, I pay more in income taxes than a large part of the country earns a year and I would cut the coil in the back if I just wanted a level without a second thought. Has nothing to do with how much is costs, has to do with how much it's worth versus continuing to grow my retirement, max out my 401k every year, and still do WTF ever I want when I get the urge.
Stop crying about the cash their meat curtains, makes you sound like your username.
http://cftperformance.com/ram-air-lift-4-link-set/ This is what I installed the other day on my 13 Ram 1500 Sport Crew Cab.Hey yall, I have a 2017 reg cab short bed 2wd with the 5.7....I want to level the rear....I also want to do it on a budget....can you cut the rear springs? If so how much to get a 2.5-3inch drop? Has anyone on here done this? Should I just drop the cash and get a spring kit? If so who would yall recommend?
Thanks

Can't say enough good things about them. The have the upper coils wound tighter than most allowing cutting 2 or more coils without affecting the good ride they provide. I woild do it again.
Does anyone know how the Inez 4/6 kit goes from 4" to 6" in the rear??? Anyone
