I would bag it. Front end parts cost the same as spindles. Run a small compressor and an air tank under the bed. A tank of air will last a while if you are not constantly playing with it. You can even wire it up to the ignition so when he shuts the key off, the truck drops, turn it back on, and it lifts to a preset height. Depends what you want to spend I suppose. If you want cheap, then just cut a coil off the front springs. How much are your control arms lowering it right now? How much more drop do you want?
