Default 2004 Silverdo LT lowering suggestions

I plan on lowering my truck 2 inches front and rear. I am looking for suggestions on how to do this. The rear will be shackles and I am wondering if the front should be lowered with torsion keys or spindles? Again, I only want to lower it 2 inches. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Here is a picture of how my truck sits today. 2004 Silverdo LT lowering suggestions-2004-truck-3.jpgThank you in advance.

I'd go with spindles, make it easy.

That way you don't have to adjust the torsion bars. That can lead to worse ride quality.

Thank you for the response. The keys would be easier to install, but they will make the front ride a little softer and the ride quality would be affected. I will go with spindles and shackles to get my 2 inch drop. Thanks.
