Default 2/4 drop question

So I currently have 2in drop shackles installed and I've been wanting to go a little lower. So I was thinking a 2/4 drop would be perfect. Now I still have the stock lifting blocks in the back and I know by removing them it can yield me close to 2 more inches of drop. My question is what's the best route for the front to achieve 2 inches of drop? The truck is 2WD/AWD. Thanks in advance.

A couple of options for 2" front drop:

Beltech drop struts
DJM lower control arms
Ground Force coil springs
McGaughys spring relocater

I guess it's a 4x4 since I can switch to AWD OR 4HI

What would be the most cost effective but still be a good/reliable set up?

I would go with the Beltech if I were you incase you decide to go lower, they are adjustable.
Personally I went with GF 2" drop springs though.

I'm new to the lowering scene. So this may be a dumb question. I think I'm gonna order the belltech lowering struts. Is there anything else I need besides the lowering struts to drop the front 2in, i.e. different springs, etc...?

Nope, all you need is the beltech struts in the front, and make sure to get an alignment afterwards.
