If it's a 2wd then you have plenty of options for lowering. You can cut the springs but that can mess with their spring rate and kill the ride. The spindles are always a good choice but they bump your wheels out 3/4" or there are the springs which are the easiest to install. Any of them work, just look at what you want to spend and if you plan to do it yourself.
I love the Belltech shocks, and their nitro 2s have served well in the past.

I was just thinking about cutting one coil off would stock shocks work or should I just replace them

A little info, the 5.7 and 4.7 are the same springs. Measure 6 inches of spring and it will lower about a inch. Spindles IMO is the best way to drop the front.
