73' f100

Im fixing to lower my truck with 3in drop beams and flip kit, but im wanting to go lower than just 3in in the front, can I get away with cutting a coil or two off? If anyone has done this could you post pics for me please. In the rear I was gonna flip it and put a set of lowering shackles.

1 or 2 coils will not be too bad on your tires

Im just going to measure once ive got it all lowered, thats what ive done with all my trucks that ive lowered. Ive just never lowered a truck with ibeams. My ibeams should be in today though, so I was just seeing what yall guys thought on how many coils to cut. Thanks for all yalls input. If you have pics of any with lowered beams and cut coils please post.
