Default Front end lowering

I have never lowered a truck alwase been lifted , so after some looking around and seeing the different companys yall have used i have some questions before i order a kit or seperate componets . I have a 2006 Regular cab short bed and i want to lower the front 2-3" and the rear 3-4. In the front end i was wondering what gives the best ride with least wear . I have seen belltech lowering spindles , hotchkis coil springs , and Djm coil springs and lower control arms. What works best in yalls mind ?

I personally like spindles because all the suspension geometry stays the same and you dont need new shocks. I'm also a fan of cutting the coil springs to achieve some drop. Easiest way and best ride I ever had was cutting one full coil off the spring and it lowered me 3". You going with shackles/hangers in the back?
