You got it bigchevy.. :waytogo:

... oh and one coil cut off of the front springs... and there it sits

P235-75-15's stock rallies, and 3 inch rings...

Looks great with that stance.....This other truck I'm looking at, has basically the same thing done to it...

Thanks,.. my pop bought it stock as all get out.. with the stock stance..

He went Old School, and that's how he dropped it... been like that over 20 years

It's had different rims and tires on it through the years.. but same stance...

Spring rate and height should not screw with the ride so much, what kind of shock absorbers do you run? Maybe a set of stiff dampened ones would solve any bouncing issues.

we have learned that if you cut it with a band saw instead of a torch it rides better and doesnt hurt the coil from heating it, jmo

I've heard the same thing. To use a SawZall instead of a torch or welder for a nice clean cut and not heat to disturb the springs temper.
