I put the McGaugheys on mine last week. Only a 1 1/2" drop. Didnt remove the spring. There is about 1" diff in the front and rear of mine and I like the front just a hair lower.

I installed Belltech drop shackles on my 2WD, and I'm very satisfied.

I only got about 1 1/2" drop from them, and then installed air lift bags for when I tow. With the 5 lbs min air required in the bags, the rear was just a touch higher than I like. A couple of hundred lbs. of ballast weight right near the tailgate causes it to sit just as I like, nice and level, and it smooths out the ride really well.

With Bilsteins all around, Belltech rear anti sway, air lift bags (@ 5 psi when not towing) and poly sway bar bushings up front, the ride and handling of the truck really, really improved.

A final note about Air Lift Company. I installed their 1000 series bags to assist when I tow a 5100 lb. 30 ft. ultra light travel trailer with an Equalizer hitch. The improvement was huge! (Hammer said it would be) The level stance, the isolation from the trailer feedback, and smooth ride makes it well worth the investment.

I do have a few on my hard drive, but I have to admit that I've not taken the time to figure out how to post them here.

Give me some quick instructions (don't have the time to research it at the moment) and I'll see what I can do.
