same kits are used for 2012 as 2011.
no one makes a 3/5 drop kit. only 2/3 or 2/4.
you would have to cut some coils to achieve a 3/5.
(well, you can get mcgaughy drop spindles for the front, then put drop coils in too. that would put you about 4" drop in front though).
refer to this thread. he just used a mcg 2/4 kit and cut the coils to get a 3/5.

^This.. Thats my truck. Since your a 2012 your gonna be ordering a lot of stuff for your truck under the 2010, 2011 years.
Far as the 3/5 drop. I used the Mcgaughys spindle kit, track bar, and 4" drop springs in the rear. I cut the factory coils in the front and I also cut the rear Mcgaughy ones. 1" on the factory and Mcg springs is different, so if you have any questions Pm me. I also added Belltech street performance shocks on all four corners. The truck rides better than stock, very smooth, handles a lot better! Almost feels like theres no body roll what so ever. I usually take my neighborhood corners at 30mph and feels like its hugging the ground nicely.

About how much does it cost to do a lowering kit with new shocks all the way around? If you don't mind me asking.

rear shocks cost ~$100-120 (cant remember)
mcg deluxe kit cost me $430 shipped, but i think its around $550-600 now.
you can get it done a little cheaper but using belltech lowering kit. has 4 springs and 4 shocks already. would just need to trim the coils to achieve the 3/5 drop.
