The best drop kit for that height is the Hotchkis TVS.

I run a Hotchkis TVS with belltech 2" coils and a 2" shackle with QA1 shocks. it gives me about a 2/3.5 and sits level. My only complaint is the little bit of bump steer I get from just using a 2" drop spring in front but you will have that with any setup that doesn't use a spindle or a-arms to correct the geometry. I'm considering going to the spindles in the front for mine to fix this.

With the factory suspension this is not existent or at least not noticable by design under the nomal range of travel of the suspension. When you just install the coil spring your normal range of travel is now where the extreme of travel was on the stock suspension. With a 2" coil only drop you will have to go to a shorter bumpstop for suspension travel clearance. This put the geometry even farther out of wack.
My experience was using the the factory bumpstops for a while after installing the coil springs. This gave me a horrible ride because I was always hitting the bumpstops, but I didn't have any bumpsteer. Then changed to shorter bumpstops and have enough travel so it rides better but now I get the bumpsteer. It's not a big deal if you hit a dip evenly with both sides, but whenever you hit a dip with only one side of the truck that bumpsteer will basically steer your truck. It's a little unnerving when it does it and you in one of those narrow lanes with a retaining construction wall right beside you.
