cut springs with longtubes
 

I got a real good deal on a set of long tubes and since I will be removing the k member, i would also cut the stock springs just to get rid of the 4x4 look. How much can be cut before needing camber bolts? Also will attempt 96-98 intake cam swap as well (I will have two weeks off before retiring from military soon).

I have a 2" drop with long tubes and I scrape everything, I'd be cautious of how much you cut.

I cut front 3/4 coil for 1 inch drop and rear 1/2 coil for 3/4 drop. I used camber bolts which were needed, no idea how much less would not need it.

You may notice a few more bumps than before but after a week or so its feels normal to you.
