Yes it's been done before. On these trucks, the cab will hit the ground so there's not much reason to do it (there's a 3/4" diff between the bottom of the frame & cab).

For 3/4 of an inch I would just weld in a piece of 3/16'' angle iron to the bottom where you cut the frame off.

If you are going to roll your pinch weld up and lay rocker then go with the 2x4

I'm thinking laying it on the rockers
