Technical 57 chev wagon coil cutting and let's start a lowered wagon thread

Wait a bit

Wait and and let things settle
, and if you can drive it do so. Also, see if the ends of the springs are where they should be.

 

Ya man I looked to make sure they were wrapped properly up top and it looks good, it's also located properly in the bottom against the shoulder
You can't tell by looking at it, it looks level, so I think on your advise I'll leave it and ride it around and see what comes of it
I think I'm splitting hairs at this point
Thx and I'll look for friends wagons to post

 

One more, if after a good ride & time frame go by and it still has the same measurements swap coils (if the tops are the same shape) side to side and check the #'s. It may indeed be that one coil.

 

Love the Longroofs!

 

if you need to adjust the length of spring just remember as a rule of thumb what you cut off the spring is roughly twice off the drop out on the wheel, I cut 2 coils on a 55 hardtop back in 94 and it was low, flattened the ends of the spring to sit better and good shocks with a 1"stabilizer bar, rode firm and cornered and handled nice , another thing to do is put new rubber bump stops on, I actually cut mine down in height as it hit them quite often, still the same configuration I believe after all these years
