cutting front coils??? alignment?

[knightowl73]

i know most would take them out. but a friend that i know used to put in alot of hydraulic systems and he said he just jacks up the cars and cuts them with a torch up front while standing back. anyone done this on a squarebody? i just want to cut 1 coil off, i still have the 275-60-15s all around and need to replace a tierod end, so was gonna get a alignment after and might as well drop it too up front.
shouldnt be too bad if it takes me another month (at the most) to drop the rear? i plan to do shackles first in the rear, and later take out a few leafs, but i need to find a better rear before i do the leafs, i cant stand the 4.11s. but the alignment should be ok after i get the back done or will i need to get another after i finally settle the rear low as i like?
