Front spring cut on the lighter 6 cylinder??

Does any one know a ratio of spring cut to actual drop for the lighter 6 cylinder front springs? (I.E. 1/2 a coil=1 inch drop or 1 full Coil = 2 inch drop)

I am looking to drop mine 1 1/2 or 2 inches. Any thoughts?

It is still a 6 cylinder in the truck in case anyone was wondering

1/2 coil to 1" is a rough measurement (depends on spring age, etc.). Start at that first. Best to cut a little at a time then cut too much. Good luck!
