Although the truck sits up at about factory height. The best way to lower it is always argued. You can buy 2" drop springs for around $100 or 2 1/2" drop spindles for more $ or you can remove your stock springs and cut off 1 round from the bottom of the spring to get approximately 2" drop. I used a 4 1/2" grinder to cut one coil off mine and bought spindles for about 4 1/2" total front drop. It doesn't affect the spring tension so no worry there. It will align and drive just fine. I strongly advise against heating your springs. You won't be happy with the results.
There are lots of threads here about lowering suspensions. Also we have a suspension forum down below just for all things suspension.
