I personally wouldn't do it that way but if you must start with half a coil and remove small amounts until you achieve the desired look

2" is a ton in a Fox too.. My B springs dropped mine about .75"-1" and its a little close on some speed bumps and driveways. I've scraped exhaust tips before.

Might wanna take it slow and go drive it in between cuts.

On B springs:
