Depends on standard or extra cab, too, but in my opinion anything bigger than 3/4 is going to make you miserable.
Spindles and coils up front for a 3 or 4" drop, and blocks in the rear to level it out. Don't spend big money on the static drop since you'll only re-use the spindles once you bag it...
Figure on around $300 retail for those items, plus around 50-75 to align it when you're done.
Good luck!

if the smoothness of the ride dont matter then do the 5/6 if it does then a 3/4 would be perfect it would still sit low cause of the wheel and tire combo
