I have a 1974 144 that i just cut the front spings on, be very carefull on how you reposition the springs once you put them back in it made about an inch difference from side to side just by rotating the spring. and by the way if I could go back in time I would not have done this. just a little advice on how much to cut if you do cut them, I cut 1.5 coils off and that was way to much!!!!!! now I have about 1.5 inches of travel before the tire hits the top of the wheel well, and yes I feel like a idiot.
