Default Update on 99 w/ 2/4 djm kit

Here i took the front springs out and cut a coil off.. If you are wanting the 2/4 kit from djm i suggest cutting the coil first cause you wont be happy with the way it sits...

first pic is with coil cut

second pick is not cut

I think another guy on another forum had the same problem with his 2/4 kit. Only dropped his V6 1", so he cut coils.

i have the same drop on my 2000 f150 extended cab, and i also ended up cutting my front coil. what size rims do you have on your truck and do you think that if i take out the helper spring in the back, it will level out more? i dont like the forward rake
