if you go 2" you should be fine with the stock shocks. need a little more info on your truck to help you out more.

If you want to drop it 2" the cheapest route would be 2" drop springs. The control arms are good, but they're not too cheap to be honest. You don't need to replace the upper control arms when you use the lowered lower control arms.

If it were me, I'd start with the 2" springs. Most of the lowering springs improve handling along with lowering the stance 2". 2" drop springs from companies like Belltech, DJM ride just fine. So you're not going to lose any ride comfort. As far as the shocks go I'd suggest replacing even with a 2" drop. If money is tight, then you will be okay with the stock height shocks, but the lowered shocks make a nice improvement.

You didn't mention the rear. How much are you thinking of lowering the rear end? Perhaps 2/4 drop? That should look good. Not sure how low most people drop Expy's to be honest...

EDIT: Damn I didn't realize this was an old *** thread. Oh well...
