Anything's possible ... it's whether it'll do what you want should be the real question, and what you really need to think about or explain ...

that will make them arc upwards! the springs are pre-formed sprung steel

apart from the fact your chassis will be in the way if you have an 88" your axle would be level with the top of your chassis

As far as i know there are two things you can do with leave springs (not sure if it applies to all landys) these are;

swap the metal (leaves?) round so the top one goes on the bottom and the bottom one on the top etc.

or

move the mounting blocks lower or higher on the axel increasing or decreasing the ride height.

I think the first one is what the guy was talking about as its quite had to convay and understand, it does give a stiffer ride and some other beifits that escape me at the moment, however i would'nt bother with it.
