Do the front springs have an apearance of being cut at the bottom from factory?

That is probably the worst "cut" I have ever seen . I will go out on a limb and say that is not a factory "cut".LOL

+1  That's going to be a very large safe limb IMHO    :)

Less of a "cut" and more of a heat it till something falls off sort of attempt. Likely had their eyes close when doing it  ::)
