There are two schools thought here, chopped springs or spindles. I'm with your Dad, I used spindles mostly because over the years I have had both chopped springs and spindles. The spindle in my opinion worked the best as they maintain the geometery closest to stock and can be the easiest to align. If you look at your front bump stops, you will notice there is little clearance even when stock. So using drop springs will put you on the stops and require there removal. This is not a big deal, but is an indication how things are being changed. The rear is easy using a flip kit. Good luck

Spindles for a 2" drop for sure. The main reasons is that it keeps the suspension very close to factory specs. Also take away a lot of alignment issues that would prob' occur with 2" coils.

ooops RedTruck-VA post FTW
