You can cut them, but the ride will get rough... much rougher than getting a set of aftermarket coils getting you the same height. Better cut with a cutoff wheel or hacksaw though, no torch.

PS - must reiterate... the ride quality will be very shitty, but it will get you the look your after. Also, I took your bold tags off... kinda cheezy to bold your entire post.
