Mike got it, but in my experience even professionally cut coil springs that ride metal to metal will squeak. I think you need to replace your coil spring insulators (these are made for nearly all vehicles up through the 80s). You compress the spring, slip the pad underneath the coil, turn the spring back to its original location if it is top-oriented and then un-compress it. They don't change the height, but they do make things quieter. If you cut the coil with a torch and didn't chamfer the cut edge after you cut it, I'm afraid you're going to have to remove it. If the edge is cut crudely enough it will cut through any insulator and you'll have the same problem. Good luck.
