You would have to run a pretty tall tire 60 or 70 series if you dropped front 2 in. if you want it to be close or evev with top of fender . my front is dropped approx. 5.5 in. with a 255x 50 tire & it tucks just a little.

Asfar as the rear a good brand flip kit (beltech, chassis tech ,djm.etc. would be my choice , but you are going down at least 6 in..

Based upon what you have said, I would recommend a 2.5 -3 in dropped front spindle run with a 245 -255 60 series tire. should look nice . And for the rear I would do a shackle & hanger kit which will get you down approx 4 in. witha 275 x 60 tire . Think you be pleased . these mods wont alter your suspension integrity as well hope this helps
