Anyone could have told you that.

I suggest Ingalls. I haven't had any major problems with them so far but some people think they're a pain in the ass.

you might have to get some really long bolts so you can add extra washers if need be for the rear...get a free alignment check done somewhere so you know how many degrees you are off by. That will help you determine what kit to get (you may not need an extreme 1.5-3 degree correction)

For the rears, I just used the bolt and washer style.

I'm dropped about 2.5" and it's within specs.

Well , it wasnt even half the tire man. it was the far corner of the tire. maybe an inch or two of just wire. Man, I didnt think that my camber was that bad.. But oh well I learned the hard way ...
