your not finding a 4/6 kit because they dont exist, if you want to go that low in the rear, just buy 1in blocks and put them on your flipped axle

yes you can
i would only cut a coil IF you didnt want to buy the drop springs, because that will ruin your drive comfort,
your going to have to get beams though to achieve the drop you want

A 4" drop up front isn't possible without cutting the spring, unless someone makes a 1" drop coil I'm unaware of. I'm 5/4 dropped in my 93. Dream beams with 2" DJM drop springs and a flipped 8.8 out back.

I'm just inquiring where abouts you got your drop kits from? Just trying to find somewhere a little more local considering this damn exchange rate right now
