There's a thread on here maybe a year ago or so where somebody did the same thing. Pretty sure they cut a coil or coil and a half out and got new shocks.said it rode great, maybe they'll chime in.
No personal experience with a new rig but I recently cut a coil on a 2g. Not a single drawback for me. Better ride for sure. I think it has more to do with control arm angle.
People rave about the Firepunk coils. Did you call for an ETA on restock?
Similar post on FB a while back and they called to find out they would be in stock in a few days. I think they sell out and restock pretty quick. Worth a shot.
