Re: 4" LOWERING SPRINGS 70 Suburban

I have the 3/4 CPP spring kit on both my 1972 Suburban and my 1966 C-10. I did cut 1/2 coil off my 1966 C-10 front springs a few weeks ago and it gave me right at a 1" additional drop. I was looking for a little more rake too. No problems at all, no difference in the ride either. I cut it off the bottom of the coil, not the top. You will hear different opinions all over the spectrum with this, I can only tell you that it worked out fine for me with absolutely no issues!!!! Try 1/4 of a coil at a time, better to cut more than too much.

Just make sure you have plenty of travel to your bump stops. I cut my bump stops off flat and have around 2" of suspension travel now after cutting the 1/2 coil off. Whatever you decide to do, DO NOT HEAT SPRINGS!!!!! I read posts for over a week all over the internet before I just decided to do it....glad I did. Looks so much better now. Hope this helps.
