drop springs or a arm up front and in the back a block, shackles and hangers, or dearched springs. You should be able to find any of those, you just have to decide what company to go with. Aim, Western Chassis, or djm.

How much do you want to spend vs. what kind of sacrifice in ride quality do you want? You can achieve your drop with as little as $25 and your own labor, or you could spend $500 or more by using top of the line components and have them installed for you.
If you are "El Cheapo" just cut 2" off your current front coils and throw a set of 3" blocks on the rear. This works just fine, but the ride will be slightly bumpy(er).
If you've got the dough, I would suggest using 2" dropped spindles up front since these result in no diminished suspension travel. As for the rear, use a set of drop shackle mounts and drop hangers, shave the bump stops, and put on a good set of drop shocks (Bell Tech or Doesch Tech) all around. This will maintain your current ride quality and payload capacity.
Or you can always compromise and do some combination of each. If you don't mind the work, start out with "el cheapo" method, and work your way up from there until you've achieved your desired combination of ride quality vs. dollars spent.

since you have a gen 3 youd have to get the lowered control arms, there arent any spindles made for 97-up

How much would it cost to lower my 2002 R/T. Maybe a normal kit. Nothing special. Like 3 and 31/2.
