cut coils
Well since f250 drop beams are insanely high and the army don't pay me enough, I'm just gonna cut my springs like I did my old ranger, I believe I cut 2 or so coils out and got a 3 or so drop, and did a axle flip in the rear just by welding new trailer leaf spring perches from tractor supply, so im just use that method all over again, plus I already have the 4* adjustable camber bushings.

Did it on an 03 ram. We took our time though and cut 1/4 coil at a time to get the perfect drop. Make sure and use a cut off wheel. Some people think it's ok to use a torch but that produces too much heat.
