How hard to install JUST a drop spring?

I don't wanna do anything else, but install a shorter spring (1" lower). I was considering whacking off a ¼ of a coil. I just want the front end a TAD lower (cuz the wheel gap is more than in the back.) I KNOW everyone's against cutting the coils, but I mean...if it's just 1", won't I be ok? If not, where can I get a 1" drop spring? Also, would I have to get different shocks? (I got the DT 5206 I believe; the guy said they're the stock length...) How would I go about pulling out the spring? Could I get a Coil Spring Remover and then jack my truck up (to compress the spring) then bolt on the remover, and then slide out my spring and install the new one vice versa? Thanks guys.
