i need to cause the tires are leaning in some, but your not cutting as much as me so you might not have to.

Besides my 05 Z71, I have an 85 RCSB that's dropped with spindles in the front and then we also shortened the springs, but we did it by heating the spring near the middle and collapsing two coils together. it was a friends idea that he did to his kids truck and it still rides pretty nice and you just heat it enough to let it start dropping and when it gets to where you want it then you stop adding heat! (we did it right on his alignment machine as to help keep everything where it should be...but I guess that's part of knowing people in the business...)
