3” drop lower control arms (purchase matching uppers that correct geometry) with a 1” drop spring would address almost all the concerns in the front.
I’m pretty sure you can’t run 15” wheels in the front with drop spindles. But you can with control arms.
(Just in case you may ever want to put 15’s back on it)
All the “hard work” is the same for all the options. Busting ball joints and tie rods, wrestling with a loaded spindle. So it’s not much more to just replace all the front arms. Definitely easier than pressing bushings.
