    rear leaf spring help

    if i cut the coil spring a 1/4 at a time how does that effect the way it sit. i mean the coil spring would not be sitting flush up at the top anymore would it? i think i need to just lower the front because the more i look at it the rear sits good but the front could go lower an 1in. or so
