anybody shorten a Leaf Spring frame?

[bgunther]

I saw glock35ispc's write up about shortening frames and i am trying to find out if this can be done on a leaf spring suspension? If you cut 8" off the rear you end up with 4" of frame left before the shackle hanger. Longhorn posted a thread on the message board but I hoped maybe some suspension guru would see this and have an answer.

Thanks Guys
