yes cutting the coils need ur help my fellow friends

[TheBlackBeast]

So i just ordered my belltech springs 2/4 drop but i will be cutting the coils. Heres the thing, i seen people cut half a coil for that extra inch infront and a full coil for rear for that extra inch. I have also seen people cut a full coil infront but that sits little to low.so i want to cut 3/4 of a coil to get about 1.5 drop more and cut 1.5 in back to drop 1.5 more. In all the final drop will be 3.5/5.5. What do you guys think. How much will i need to cut on bump stops.

I'd start with 1" all the away around to see where it's at first because once it's cut you can't put it back. Keep it mind also that it'll never properly align going to 3.5" on springs only up front.

For bumpstops I'm using Belltech's 4922 in the front and the 4923 (they're the ones supplied for the front in their kits) in the rear.

What drop u have

 

[TylerB]

McGaughy's spindles and springs for 4" in the front and cut Belltech springs for 6" in the rear.

How does the rear feel with the 6 inch drop

 

[TylerB]

OK, but there's pretty much no room for suspension travel. I added some Air Lift bags to help with that.

yea dont cut too much on the front or itll be a pain getting it aligned i cut half a coil but for some reason i think mine might be lower then a 3/5 because of how it sits next to other 3/5 dropped trucks. i ended up getting adjustable ball joints on mine to get it aligned right

 

[TheBlackBeast]

The reason i want to drop it another 1/2 inch front and back its because im going to have all lot of fender gap. If i drop it 1/2 more it will be perfect... And ima use the bump stops for the front for rear and order new 4922 bump stops for front.

I also herd that the belltech shocks arent so good what if i run the stock shocks?

 

[TylerB]

2/4 is pushing it on stock shocks.

Ok ordered my whole kit with shocks with 1.5 inch bump stops for $469
