i was at team z saturday talking to dave about rear springs. he said to take a stock 5.0 spring and cut 1/2 coil to get proper ride height. that's using his upper and lower arms and 10-way strange shocks. dave says it's cool, that's all i need to hear.
I cut one coil off the front of my stock springs and nothing off the back. The back sat fine with the Megabite Jr.'s on their lowest setting.
By the way, I cut off one coil from the top of my front spring, I think.
Also it rides great, you wouldn't even know the difference.

Why wouldn't you have cut it off the bottom?
The top of the spring is flat. So it sits in the perch.
There is a noticable difference between the 4 cylinder springs and the standard v8 ones? im just wondering if the car i baught has stock v8 springs on it or were changed over to 4 cylinder ones when they did the 9" install?( ex:space between coils/taller/shorter/thicker or thinner)?
Im not sure if mine are cut or just lowering springs to begin with, i put them up on jacks but it was hard to tell there was a green tag on them that said "MOF" on them, not sure what that meant.
