Every portion of that bushing can be easily and cheaply replaced. Cut whatever you need to as long as you don't mess up the spring mount and/or the shackle, although the shackles are dirt cheap too.
When you buy new factory bushings, they'll come with the sleeve. If you're using aftermarket springs, they'll come with polyurethane bushings and sleeves. The poly setup is quite a bit different looking than the stock setup, but they both work the same way.
