To answer your question BMR the cut off wheel is the cleanest way. Tip keep the spring cool so it doesnt loose its temper and sag. Just use wayer while your cutting to keep the heat down. If I remember correctly half a coil equals about one inch. Im about to trim the front springs in mine. Truck looks good like it sits but a lil lower is always nice.

Doesn't trimming the springs cause the wheels to get out of balance?

There is no connection between wheel balance and spring length...only alignment.

I'm tired and didn't even know what I was saying lol that's what I meant... I thought after you trimmed the springs it would be near to impossible to get it back to perfect alignment?
