Thread-topic: dropping the front end a few inches
Lots have dropped the front end, but I don't know if anyone has gone the way
of spring compressors.
They are made to compress a spring, but using them "in flight" means loading
the bolts dynamically, meaning each substantial bump is going unload/load
those threads, and unless they are acme threads (very expensive to make) they
are not built for that.
You can cut a coil, the trick is getting both sides level, and reacting the
same. (better cut it cold, no torches)

The wheels sound cool, but I think you'll be subtracting rubber to get Zero
offset to fit without rubbing.  There is a lot of discussion of wheel fitment
and what folks have tried on 311s.org.
