The only right way to lower the front is with dropped I-beams, or dropped spindles. If you were to cut or replace the springs, it would throw your alignment out too far to be adjusted, which would negatively affect the handling of your truck. It also looks stupid with the top of the tires leaning in so far.

I think the max drop you can get from the spindles is 2" and possibly 2-3" from the I-beams, I have also heard them called "Dream beams". Go with what you can afford depending on how much drop you want. You can also get 2" lowering shackles for the rear, I paid $50 for a set of Bell tech shackles a few years ago. Grab a Sport Truck magazine, they have lots of add's for suspension mod's.
