Default Can I Flip The Rear Leve Springs?

I have a 2000 3.9 2wd Automatic that I was told I can flip the rear Leve springs to lower the back end and cut the front springs to get the front end down is this possible?

Possible?--yes
smart?-- no
It can be done but your truck will ride like a brick
if you flip the rear leaf springs you'll drop the rear end near 7-8 whole inches
in order for it to fit you would need to cut a notch out of your frame and shorten your driveshaft
not easy to do you'd be better off getting shorter leaf springs from JCWhitney and shortened shocks

spend a little money, do it right, be nice to your truck
