I had no idea your girl stole your testicles Nick, let us know when you get them back so you can mod your truck again.

So I was doing some cleaning and found these
These are the bumpstops that were removed when truck was lowered!!!
I'll try to install tomorrow if I have time.

That's awesome that you found them. Nothing like free mods :)

Hopefully sometime next week I can get back on mine.

I would try to thread through the bumpstop.

I wouldn't try to cut the 4230 spring. I gave it some thought but I think that cutting the spring would get you much lower than you want. What's your tire size? I'm at 32" with the same spring but I have a 29.75" OD tire. If you have a tire that has a 32" or greater OD size then you're just as low as me or lower.

My torsion bolts are even.

Edit: It looks like your tire is 32.4" in OD. This means we got about the same drop and your larger wheel/tire combo makes most of the difference. I hope this helps you out. If you really want to trim a spring, go with the 5305s since they have a lot of dead coils and will keep a good ride after they are trimmed.

I should just get rid of my 24s and get 22s I bet that will help on getting lower
Ill keep that in mind cause the rear is higher!
