It will ride like absolute asshole because you'll be riding purely on the bumpstops.

You can do what I did when I lowered my toy..
I reset them. Basically turned the torsion bars all the way down then pulled the arms off the bars, then put the arms back on but at a higher angle. Then put the bolts back in & torqued it back up some. That way the arms dont sit so low that you drag/rip them off & it doesnt ride so much like ass. Oh dont forget to cut your bumpstops down some too.

Same thing i did on my mazda, for being static dropped it rides pretty well and theres no need to take them out unless you want to when you bag it

Jack the truck up & get the weight off both wheels...turn the bolts down all the way till the arms hang down & remove the bolts. After you take the bolts out all you should have to do it pull the bars down alittle & hit the arm with a hammer or something & it will come off. After you get the arm off just turn it up to a higher angle & then put the bolt back in & retighten the bolt & it will lift the truck up some to where it dont sit down all the way & ride like ass...oh you should cut the bumpstops down or remove them. I hope this helps out.

I would just save up and bag it....I pulled mine out and cut the bumpstops first for 6 months or so and it absolutley sucked ass....and no matter if you re-index them to lower it it will still ride like shit....
