Re: front springs
Remove lower control arm from frame. Jack it up, swing the arm and your'e good to go. From what I've read cut springs lead to disappointment. Not first hand but worth looking into.

Re: front springs
SOM just so you know, cutting a coil off the front springs works just fine. The negative feedback you hear is from "heating" springs to lower. That will certainly lead to a collapsed or possibly even a broken spring.

Re: front springs
Heating or cutting excessively BOTH will result in poor quality ride .
