So i finally got some time to get the front springs cut up. I cut one full coil off the top and its still a touch tall up front. I was hoping a hard drive down some gravel road would settle it down some as the spring is progressive and doesnt sit in the top cup very well.

Anyways. Its maybe a thumbnail width measured off my jeans pocket taller up front. It definitely sits more level, and rides more balanced with the stiff rear (front end was like a '74 cadillac with no shocks). And also confirmed that the left front shock is worn out. Bump is gone and rebound still works, no gas pressure. The right was good and The rears were equally ok. So ill be slapping on some new shocks soon.

So i am kicking myself for not measuring before and after. The rear was fairly obvious as the block was 4.5" or 4.75". The front i would say dropped down maybe an inch.

Im hesitant to cut any more off the coils. Maybe start with a quarter off the bottom and go from there. Luckilly the spring doesnt have to sit in there any special way.

And to anybody else wanting to cut a spring. Dont try using a portaband. A grinder works way better. I also used a pressurized bottle with water to keep things cool as i cut.
