Default cut springs

I have tokico shocks and spings on my 93 lude and I was wondering if I could cut the springs to give it a little better stance and what that would do to my ride quality.

yeah, cutting springs is just ghetto-NOT-so-fabulous. besides, for the time and trouble for going in there, cutting them, and re-installing, just buy different springs. you already have nice parts in there, make sure you do it right. and whoever suggested you cut the springs, DO NOT TAKE ANY ADVICE FROM THEM! if it's a shop, STAY AWAY!

What about Skunk2 or Dropzone...they both have 2.25" drop springs...the Tiens are only 1.1"
