If you want a lowered truck, I'd get a legitimate lowering kit....Beltech is probably the most widely used. I'd be extemely careful with your ride if the previous owner did in fact cut the coils. This is very dangerous and impossible to get the truck to sit evenly since it basically involves heating up the springs, letting the weight of the truck push them down and then eyeballing it cut them evenly. I'd get new springs if I were you...but that's just an opinion.
