Need front spring height advice

I have a 70 GMC factory BB402 that I put 2-1/2" drop spindles on with new stock height big block springs and new 3/4 ton shocks all from American Classic. I am transfering every thing to a 67 short bed chassis and I want to lower it only 3/4" more. I think I can do this by cutting maybe 1/8 of a coil off or less. I need some advice so I don't go too low and ruin the springs. Any help would be apreciated. Would 1/2 ton stock shocks help? Also if anyone has a part # for the front sway bar mounting plates for lowered trucks, that would be great. Thanks
