Thanks

How much is "a little bit"? That varies from one guy to the next.

A simple 2-3" front drop:

* Cut a coil off the current springs for an easy ~2" of front drop & it won't kill the ride quality. One coil is the most I'm willing to cut though.
* Use C20/30 drop spindles. They'll be 3" of drop & are apparently scare right now as the few suppliers out there are out-of or low on inventory of them.

For the back you could:

* Order new leafs from a spring company.
* Do shackles + front hangers using the current springs for ~4". That's a common one.
* A flip kit is ~7-8" of drop so that's likely beyond "a little bit" but also common.
* Use 1/2 ton rate leafs from another truck as they give a softer ride but @ the sacrifice of capacity. Drop will vary on what each vehicles current set-up is so that's a trial & error approach.
