Cutting coils only makes for a stiffer ride, I have been down that road before! I cut coils on coil-over shocks once, talk about a rough riding lumber wagon.
I have been messing around with my front shocks. With the travel I have, I am very limited on shocks that fit. I believe I am using rear shocks off a Pinto station wagon of all things. I found a chart that shows how the angle of the shock changes its rate, so I tilted mine about 20 degrees forward from a straight up position. So far it has helped, I need some more drive time before I commit to new brackets, its just temporary fix now. It has taken out some of the stiffness letting the spring move more. I am getting down to the fine tuning now!
