Cut them about 1/3 of distance from spring-seat toward front-mounts. Made new pockets for coil springs, afterwards, to reset rear to a net of about 2.5 inches down--had earlier lowered it 3.0 inches, using springs: did this to help with changing tires, due to fender well clearance, as well as looks. Sorry, do not have pics of before-and-after. The pockets/cups added will make it easy to alter height in future, if desired, by simply swapping different-height cup(s) on the bottom of coils.
Was careful to cut the arms using the common "ZEE-CUT" for strength.
Hope some of this helps.
