The reason is the front side of the spring is just going to be way to short and create problems with the geometery. Even looking at that picture you are talking about a very short spring even if you have one made and keep it symmetrical.

There are other ways to go about this but all of them will require quite a bit if fabrication and cost.

Not hard or complicated but different. Not saying that is the only way but it is one way. Lets see what the more informed truck guys say...
