I have a friend that wants to lower his truck and he has a 3" lift block in the rear under his leaf springs. He wants my help in cutting about an inch off the top of the lift block and he expects to be successful in using sawzall metal cutting blades (he bought a bunch just for this purpose.)
Is this an impossible task? He's set on not spending money on the correct height block. These are iron blocks that are the hollowed out kind, so it's not just one solid piece of iron. I'm thinking that a chop saw would be better for this situation, but neither of us have one.
I guess he expects to cut a little less than an inch off and then grind the remaining part off to make it flat again. I don't want to help him out with this unless I feel confident that it will be successful. Your thoughts?
(I don't want any comments on how he should ditch the blocks for leaf springs. This is a question on whether or not the sawzall could successfully be used to cut the block. Thanks)
