Belltech 2" drop spindles are probably the best, they won't change ride quality one bit

I actually preferred drop coils on my old truck. Firmed up the ride enough I was able to remove the front away bar with zero effect on handling. I didn't auto X the truck but it felt fine on the street and took some weight out of the nose.

Pull the springs out, cut 1 coil off, and reinstall
