i did it to mine when i lowered it the first 2 times, actually i cut them a few different times (to go even lower), i cut the bottom and just let it rest on the trailing arm... it looked good from the outside, but the ride was pretty horrible, rode pretty stiff, any stiffer and it would have felt like a dump truck. i would personally not recommend it for any thing other than using it to see how low you want to go before buying springs, but nothing more
