cutting the coil springs

[pcmcobra]

Here's my dilemma. I put drop spindles and lowering springs up front. Just not enough drop. My buddy tells me, just cut some of the coil, and I plan on it.
If I am looking from underneath the truck, looking up into the spring perch, where the top of the coil sits, it is "D" shaped so the wrap of the end of the coil will fit and not spin...and at the bottom, there is the notch the spring fits into...
hope you are following me so far. Anyway, I need about an inch more drop up front, I have not taken the front back apart yet, cause I want to be sure about this.
Guess I am going to need to cut an entire coil out in order for my spring to fit correctly, cause cutting 1/2 will not align correctly[?], if there is another way, shed some light. I'm down for anything, just don't want my spring popping out on me.
btw, the springs I have now are the belltech 1" drop springs.

thx all.
