bumps with lowered altitude!! (lots of great custom bumps!!)

[HotRodder Glenn]

I wonder if a half a coil would help that? The truck sits nice, that is what I am looking for in the spring. How close is the rear to the snubber or frame? Any issues with bottoming out at all?

I'm actually pretty good with it now. I let a friend drive it down the street, and the camber looks fine as he drives by. Seems that how much you want to trim depends on age, mileage, and conditions the springs were used in over the years. Mine were already sagging a bit before I cut one round off.
I trimmed some off of all my bumpstops, probably wasn't necessary but gave me extra clearance for some big potholes. I haven't bottomed it out yet, and don't think it will. Unless I haul something pretty heavy in the bed...... which I don't plan on, my truck is retired!

Thanks for the reply, it helps.

Latest pics of my truck. Axel flip with cut coils up front( just a temporary measure until I fit the dropped I beams.

Finally able to post in this thread! Here's mine with DJM dream beams with a coil cut, and a full hanger flip with the helper spring removed. I still need to get the right size tires.

Mind if I ask what size tires you have now? And what size tires you are getting? Why don't the ones on there now fit correctly?

Trying to learn what I need before I drop my truck.

Thanks,
Glenn

here's mine with a shackle flip and cut coils on 17's. i don't have any good pics with the 15's.




it has a load on so it's a little lower in the rear than it really is.

Nice, just about the stance i want for mine. How much did you cut from the front coils?

[gasnoil]

May as well put my bucket in this post too.

Nice! Love the flat blue. Its different nice truck
