if u cut the front coils and buy blocks for the back your 2/3 drop should cost you around $30-40 plus the cost of shocks

Don't cut the coils!
Why would you want to ride around in a truck with a sh!thack lowering job. Anything with cut coils never, never rides right, or comfortably for that matter

Janesy is right, don't EVER cut coils. It never rides right after.
Cheap way: Buy some coils and blocks for the rear. Well under $200.
The Good Way: Drop spindles in the front maintain suspenion travel & drop 2". Rear blocks again. And a set of new shocks. Nitro makes drop shocks, but even Monroe Sensatrack would be okay for a mild drop.
A set of 18's wearing 225/40R18 tires would look good, but you're prolly looking at 4 digits to buy. You may find a set of used RT rims already wearing rubber for cheaper, if the bolt pattern is the same.
