1st option. You can go with springs for the front, but they will tweak your steering and handling geometry. Cheaper.

2nd option. You can go with spindles which will keep your oem steering and handling geometry, and improve it a lil. More expensive.

Either way you'll have to get a flip kit for the rear 4.5 drop. Basically flips the axle on top of the leaf springs, as opposed to under it, as it is now. Also, both ways you'll still want an alignment done after, and new shocks.

DJM also has some drop lower control arms or something, but I'm not familiar with them. Hope this helps.

I will always recommend McGaughy's 2/4.5 Spindle/Flip Kit. Pretty easy to install, keeps everything aligned where it should be, and it's a nice drop! Plus it's what I have and I love it. You can drop it more after that if you so choose to, just by swaping out the rear shackles for smaller ones, and getting drop coils. Usually find the kit for $520-$600.

Ooh that's right. Well you will have to do a coil spring drop then, and still have to flip the back axle. Ground force has one:

Part #: 9930 Front Coils, Rear Flip Kit, Bump Stops, Shocks. Drops it 1.5" in the front/4.3 in the back.

There's other kits and companies out there too. Your looking for coil spring/flip kit drops. Here's one from JDM:
Front lower control arms, and rear flip kit. 02 Dodge Ram 2/4 Drop kit

Sweet man. I'm going to have to decide which kit I want and start saving up for it. Only thing I don't like about those kits is I really don't want the shocks that are included, I want to get some bilsteins

I bet you can find a kit without them, or call the company and tell them you want the kit without shocks. I would upgrade to billsteins too! Whenever you do, lemme know if you need some help!

I like it how it sits now. The back is just a little lower than the front so its almost perfectly level.
