A little snipet I copied from a spring manufacturer website:
Using a torch is a great big No, No.
Remember, heat is a spring’s worst enemy.
The reason is it only takes 400 degrees F to start annealing spring steel. Anneal means the steel begin’s to soften and a soft spring can not hold up your vehicle. You, the spring owner, can not do anything to make a soft spring hard again. A heated spring is a ruined spring.
