I did that with my first car, a '47 Dodge 4-dr sedan. I was 16 and had no money to do it right, so for a "down in front" dago job, I took it to the local welding shop and had the guy heat the front springs with a torch to take the temper out of them for about a 3" rake. This, of course, stiffened up the springs. I could get her bucking like a bronco in 2nd gear at about 25-30 mph by going on and off the throttle like you describe. Back in those days, I did some pin striping and lettering, so I brushed her new name on the front fenders....Bouncing Buleah.
