Four or five maybe? Also, want to lower the front. Is there a problem with cutting 2 coils for a 4" drop?

My truck is the same way, HD springs with overload. From what I read though you don't want to remove many or the springs will sag, sometimes really bad. Others say just the overload and maybe 1 or 2 more.
