Cost wise, A static drop is going to be your best bet. Start with 3" drop spindles, A flip kit in the rear. You can trim your front spring to get more drop (1/2 coil = 1" Drop - 1 coil = 2" Drop) trimming the stock spring the truck will actually ride better. And you can always add 2" Drop shackles in the rear to bring it down some.

You can do a 5/7 Drop for relatively cheap. But here in Washington I would recommend a 4/6 drop for daily driving, mine was to low I had problems in Seattle when driving to work and all over I5 now im going to air.
