You can lower your stock keys as long as they are not maxed out on "lowering". You can lower them all the way and still be "safe" as long as you can get your truck to align, if it doesn't align, then you may need to do drop spindles and raise your keys some until they will align.

look under your truck..... you'll see the torsion bars coming from the front to about the middle of the truck (where the doors come together). You will see a bolt head sticking down. Loosen it up and the truck drops, tighten and it raises. Easier to do with the truck jacked up. Just try and get both sides the same height. Might have to set it then drive, and recheck height, etc..... hope this helps.
