ussaly with spindles or springs, sense they have coils on all fours (most of them) spindles cost around 250..... springs cost about 120
3/5 is probaly about the look you want

3/5 (3 inches in the front, 5 in the back) is the best looking combo I've seen. It definetly looks lowered, but still looks like a truck.
