Drop spindles and rear coils with shock extenders. Done.

Easiest way and most proven way to lower your ride.

I got the Belltech 2/3 from Tony. Its rides really nice. Its a lil over your budget at $525, but well worth it IMO.

I have brand new bell tech spindles for your front and brand new 3-4 springs for the rear and I'll match the $403 shipped. The kit isin the classifieds

I personally have the struts up front as Tony recommended to me and they do ride pretty good. I haven't had spindles on a NNBS so I don't have comparisons to speak of. The struts are kind of a pain in the ass because you have to compress the front coils to replace the struts.

if you have more than 40k miles id get the drop struts. The drop struts ride great and truck feels much more responsive than factory shocks.

Drop struts are nxt on my list.. I want to go another 1" up front.. +1 on Tony or Sweet N low. Both helped me out with my kit and offer great pricing!

Tony, I can't say I agree with this comment. I like the way the struts ride (better then stock) but as far as responsive, not so much. I rode on my 305/45 tires for a while before lowering my truck and once lowered I noticed that EVERY bump I hit makes the front end feel "loose". The steering wheel jerks to one side or the other. I have inspected ALL front end parts to ensure they are not warn, as well as the struts themselves, and nothing justifies it other then the drop. I intend to install a steering stabilizer to see if that helps, just my experience
