You mean C-10, right?

Cutting coils is not a good method, and should only be considered temporary.  It is not a way to have a good ride.  If you want cheap, then the cheapest acceptable way is lowered coils.  More expensive, but requiring less work to align later, is dropped spindles.

Pick up a magazine called "Truckin'" or
"street trucks" or "sport truck".  I think you'll find what your looking for.  Go bell tech, They are the best springs
