Lowering a 1985 p/u
Hello! This is my first time in this section! Got a question for you. Need help lowering 1985 pickup by 1". What is the best route?
If I cut front springs, how much should be cut, and how much will this affect the cambers? I would like to avoid the dropped I-beam route.

Cutting the springs probably would be the best way, and the cheapest too.
How much to cut? You will have to experiment.
Will it affect camber? Yes, but if you stick with 1 inch, the frontend shop should be able to adjust for that.
