FORD F1OO - REMOVING & CUTTING COIL SPRINGS TO LOWER STANCE 

Thank you for sharing love the way you explain your theory

Thank you Div, This is very interesting. I need to to cut my "F100" coil spring as well. Glad I came across this. I will tell do what I did. I have a toyota hilux suspension in my F100. I only wanted to drop a small amount (say 20mm). The details of this I will reveal in a video which I will share shortly. I removed the entire Macpherson Struct assembly. Then I made a mock replacement shock comprising Square tubing and threaded round bar. I welded a small piece of square tubing at the bottom on a vertical piece of square tubing to form a tee. And welded a the threaded bar into the top of the vertical section of square tubing. Added a a few nuts and washers at the top and bolt through the bottom. Doesn't have to be square tubing ( That's what i had lying around). This mock up replacement shock if you want to call it that, I installed into the suspension in the stock location where the Macpherson struct used to be. the threaded bar gave me the adjustment i need to set the truck at the required ride height. so now I can finalize my stance / ride height. etc, This allowed me to continue working without cutting the spring yet. I was going to cut the spring 20mm. now maybe i only need 10mm. Glad i came across you post. I hope what i am saying makes sense.

Twin I beams were notoriously difficult for alignment problems, even when new. I knew a man that had them heated and bent to solve the problem ⚡️

Thank You for the Good Stuff

Would be awesome to see your place in person lol !!!! Hope yall have an awesome day 😀 say hi to everyone for me lol 😆

As us Aussies say, you’re flying a bit low around 11min mark! An unfortunate distraction. Loving watching your vids

Very nice job duff.

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

this was very helpful

Your trousers fly is undone man!

I got all the spares you ever need, give me a shout, in Cape Town, spare springs too

Just as a side note, if you know a blacksmith they love coil spring metal for their projects, at least in the US.

You need to drop the end of the axle that attaches to the frame the same amount as you want to lower the truck.

That cut off wheel wont put enough heat in the spring to hurt nothing. Ive actualy welded coils back together and drove for couple yrs befor selling them never had any issues.

So final result was 1 full ring? Or did you go back to 11/2 rings?? Curious

Awesome channel.. HOWZIT...

What's the explanation for the double drop? It doesn't make sense to me...

how much below with 1 turn

Will this work for my 95 f150?

Can you speed it up mate
