You can go with coils, control arms or spindles. IMO spindles are they best but they are also the most expensive. You can also drop the back with leaf springs.

something you can also do depending on your skill level is cut the springs each coil u cut will give u 1 to 1.5 inches but i dont reccomend going more than 3" that way one drawback is that it will ride more rough

I had 3-inch drop blocks in back with my static drop. That's all I'd go.

Cutting coils is a no, no. Not recommended. Go with 3-inch shorter coil springs and 2-inch drop spindles. Just basic bolt-on stuff. You are just replacing the stock spindles and springs. Need to get drop shocks too due to shorter travel.

Search www.s10forum.com for help.

DO NOT CUT YOUR SPRINGS thats only asking for trouble.
