As a WARNING FYI Here is mine with front springs cut TOO MUCH

I cut 2 full coils, then ended up with rubber spacers under the springs and some 1" bumpstops in place of the stock ones. In hindsite 1.5 coils would probably be ok.It rides like crap and bottoms out, but it was FREEEEE and allowed me to save my $ for '32 ford parts
I got a set of wrangler springs for the rear for free but have not gotten around to installing them yet.
I cut 2 coils off my stock springs,and boy was it low. It looked awesome,but the ride was pretty stiff,and I was always smashing my headers!
