Thought?

Had a few questions about something i've been thinking about...

Basically like chopping a older 4Runner...

1) Is is possible to chop the back off a 4 door explorer and then to bob the back end about 8"?
2) If it is, how hard would it be to remount the bumper, etc.?
3) Doing this may make the rear leaf springs not mount up after chopping the frame, is it possible to use a shorter leaf spring setup? Possible using a wrangler leaf setup...
4)This would allow just enough room to mount a tire to the rear hatch would the hatch be strong enough to hold the spare in case of rollover?
