I haven't done this on a 48 truck specifically, but I have replaced a stock spring with a reversed eye spring in other vehicles. Basically, it lowers the vehicle a couple of inches with no other modifications. Watch for bottoming snubbers and be sure shocks don't bottom out, but you should be okay on the shocks.
