Rent / borrow the proper Merc spring compressor. The springs on these are crazy, and trying to do it with regular spring compressors is 100% not a good idea. Other than that, take the springs out, cut some off, put them back in. All will be awesome  |

Cut the springs, spend the spring money on better shocks.
90% of lowering springs ride worse than cut springs, especially merc ones. I have taken lowering springs out and replaced them with cut stockers in the past.

What shocks would you recommend?

Also if cutting shocks, how much would you recommend to remove without compromise? 1-1.5”?
