after i put my beams on, i cut a coil and a half off and it still rode fine. I also wouldnt advise cutting them saddles, look around on here, rps, trs, and other ranger forums, normally you can find a flip kit for around 10-25 bucks plus shipping, it makes it ALOT easier..

Do you know of anyone who has then for cheap? I am on a tight budget here. do you have to have the beams to cut a coil off or can you do it without buying the beams? thanks.

you can cut the springs without beams, but i wouldnt go more than one and a half coils, also your going to want to get the adjustable camber escentrics from napa to fix that negative camber.
