Trimming springs
So I'm thinking I'm not happy with my 2/4 drop...it just doesn't have the same effect it did on my '04 because of the dimensions of the newer trucks. A couple of guys have started trimming their 2/4 springs for 3/5 or even 4/7! I know that the best way to do it is using a cutoff wheel and doing a little at a time...any thoughts?
2/4:
3/5:
4/7:

I like the 3/5! 4/7 is too low unless you have smaller tires.

these new trucks look real fat in the middle and when they are lowered real low i think they look better like 1000x on 22"s+ the 20's look so small when they are lowered

Even my 33" A/T tires look small with my 2.4 drop.
