Whats best way to cut the springs (Have access to torch but would that get the rest of the spring too hot?)
Could I cut the lowering block holes out with a plasma btw?

Yes.

The shock relocators will help "stand up" the rear shocks, so they will work, and not just pivot on the two mounting bolts.
Most rear shock relocators work with shorter drop shocks also.
Whats best way to cut the springs (Have access to torch but would that get the rest of the spring too hot?)
They use to always cut springs with a torch. Usually with the spring partially submersed in a metal bucket of water, to help keep it cool.
I would use a grinder with a cut-off wheel.

I would drill them.
If I had some 1x2 material,... I'd make you a set.
Are your springs new, used, or torched?
I use the formula:
1/2 coil = 1" of drop.
Cut carefully. Not too much at once.
Then you will need shorter shocks (only with a 2" or 3" drop spring,... in my opinion)
