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.
