I wouldn't. I'd go out and shell out the money for proper drop springs so that the proper spring rate is maintained.

I'd actually prefer to bag it, nice ride, and adjustability is a plus.

on my truck i lowered the rear first and then cut the coils in the front to match.I cut 1/2 a coil at a time so i didnt drop it too much. but by the time i was done i had cut 2 full coils out to get a small rake like i wanted.

Ive had many cars that i cut the coils on and never had a problem with them but thats just me. http://www.airbagit-store.com/produc...&ID=101696here is a link to a set of coils that AIM industries sells they also sell the control arms.http://www.airbagit-store.com/produc...6ID%253D102627 they are expensive though. This site also sells the stuff to bag your truck too
