You are prohibited from removing the suspension etc parts that are installed by the manufacturer. Cutting springs, removing a couple of leafs, not having shock absorbers...is not legal. I cannot see how having a suspension suystem that functions as normal, and having a system that permits the car to rest on the ground, is possible. How do you have fully functioning leaf springs on the rear of a S -15 and yet the truck will lay on the rails? As far as the alignment goes, my local master mechanic told me that every time you raise or lower the vehicle you disturb the alignment and the camber & caster are knocked out of line.
The only legal adjustable hydraulics are the ones that are designed by the manufacturer for that vehicle. Any aftermarket system must be approved for on road use by Transport Canada and must meet all Provincial MV Regs requirements. I have followed vehicles with installed and "inspected" hydraulic setups and they stand out as they are bouncing all over the road. Every small variation in the road surface causes it to ride like a go-kart. Not safe. In response to your final question...if it is not original equipment, it must be federally and provincially approved, meet all the standards, not require the removal of normal suspension etc parts and the controls must not be adjustable from inside the vehicle...and it must pass a Provincial inspection as you now have a vehicle with parts of the body lower than the rims, light hights may no longer comply, among other things.
