You can run a dropped or cut coil and a spindle independently of each other, if I understand your question correctly. The beauty of a drop spindle is that you get the drop without doing anything else to the suspension. You'll still have the same ride because the coil was unaltered. Cutting coils or going with a drop coil can change the camber, but unless you go too far, it's easily correctable by a competent alignment shop. I like a combination of a drop spindle and cutting one coil from a stock coil spring. You get around 4.5 inches of drop, the suspension can still stay within alignment specs, and it firms up the ride a little.

What do you have in mind for the rear suspension? If you want to level out the truck with a 4" drop in the front, a 6" drop in the rear usually does the trick.
