The rear coils are tapered on both ends. If you cut them you would have to have a way to re-bend them on the end. You can make some lowering blocks out of 2x2x 1/4" wall steel tubing but you would have to buy some new 2" longer "U" bolts. (about 30 bucks at a spring shop). I would not heat the springs...
