"Buy shorter springs" is the best answer as that will lower the vehicle and keep the suspension normaized. Be careful though as your shocks may go bad if you use springs that are too short for their tolerance.

There's several ways to lower it, but one is just perfect for when you want to lower a truck and want to make no changes to the springs. That would be to get a set of drop spindles. These replace the section of the suspension where the wheels attach and relocate that point so that the truck sits lower. They're available for most trucks and should be just about perfect for what you are looking to do.

add more metal to the front(like at minimum 200 lbs) weld additions to the frame, suspension, add a brush guard and you could always put a snow plow assembly on, that should bring it down some.

Can try them cheapo spring compressors, but isn't good for the springs. Good luck.

have you tried the torsion bars? try heating the springs with a torch that will drop it but it is not the right way
