Can I cut a leaf spring with my grinder and a cutting wheel?

It's for an older truck.
Going to make my own Ada.
I remember drilling a leaf successfully with a carbide masonry bit.

Takes about 2 minutes to cut through a leaf.
My 2020 stock leaf springs made a fine donar for the 2003 add a leaf.

Scored a couple of bilsteins for 80 bucks, the back of the truck is back to stock height, or maybe an inch higher. Rides nice.
