I put lowering blocks on the rear and cut my front springs. The ride is a little rough but it so much better looking and can handle curves without so much body roll. Great videos

Wow bro you’re really pumpin out the content!

Saw a guy that custom made a two stage spring with some random prices of spring of different gauges and he said it’s the best handling car he’s put together (he was driving a 1997 rx7) it also lowered it by a full 2.9 inches looked sick

Thanks man you just saved me a lot of money an at the same time helped my truck look hella nice

Looking good! Now show us how to make a supercharger for the Dakota from scratch.

Thanks for showing me how to lower the suspension on a budget. I like the look of your truck now. Great video. 👍

Theres nothing wrong with cutting springs. Heating them is bad

Keepgunnin Carlos Soria checking in

I got lucky, my bump stops rotted off😄 dakota looking great, if you need another project I'll send you my dakota lol😎

Thumbs up, Awesome!

I know this sounds crazy, but I am going to ask anyway. I have an 09 Ram 1500 with 22" wheels and 305/ 40 22's...I want to get the truck a little lower but I don't want to go with a 2"/4" drop because I still work out of the truck and haul stuff from time to time. My ideal lowering rate ( I think) would be a 1" / 2" or 3". I know it sound like a lot of work for that little of drop. I thought I would get your opinion on cutting the springs just for that amount and what you would do shock wise, stock shock or lowered shock? I'm not saying I am going to go through with it, just want some advice. Thanks.

Its gonna ride way better without bumpstops and new belltech silver shocks. Hows the cut springs ride

Nice 👍

I have the same color RT, lowered 4” with 18”viper wheels you should try one from the red viper you will like it a lot

Bro both your new hellcats are worth more than all the junk in my garage 😂🤟

Do you remember how tall the coil was originally b4 u cut it and what height is was after cutting? Thanks

I like, How about a Dodge 2016 four-wheel-drive 250 short bed coil springs all way around how about cutting and lower in coil springs I can’t find anything on that model please advise I’m old and short person. Thanks Wayne

I'm gonna do my Ford f150 flair side

Wondering if cutting 1" off s10 coils would be ok? Heard s10 springs shouldnt really be cut

Great video.Dumb question.Do you cut the top or the bottom of the spring?

What size tires are on the truck

Can you cut the rubber part on the bump stop instead of cutting them off completely?

How do I do a 2" lift 2wd 01 dakota

You got lucky that the ball joints have been replaced before. They come stock riveted onto the control arms. Mine snapped and it was a pain to get them off

Doesn’t look too bad, how’s the ride ? I have djm 2” lower A arms on mine

Replace those ball joints mane! 🤣🤘🏻

Hi is lowering 2 inches is safe with out bouncing?

Where did you pick up the bump stops at

I bought my truck with cut springs now it bounces to much should it be due to cut springs or something else

LOL I was waiting to hear the reason why "DON'T DO THIS" was in the tittle!! :P hehe

Justin Horton right I’m more convinced into doing it

How did the truck ride with the cut springs

If you disconnect the lower ball joint there is no need to take apart all the brake hardware. You will have to slightly fight the weight of the brake hardware, spindle and upper control arm. This is easier to do with two people.

Will it bouce if cut like this or ride smoth

Need more rim ... bigger .. less tire .. it will fill the space and will look proper

How did cutting the Springs work out for you? I'm thinking about doing it to mine.

Still rides great despite what most people say

De-attach ? Detach? Remove?

It feels like stock to be honest but obviously less travel and you have to be more careful on big bumps since it can bottom but the ride feels like stock.

If the dakotas have the same lower control arm as the 1500s you can get the lower control arms off of a b series van and itll lower it without cutting springs.
