Question on lowering my '05 Explorer.

I've done a search but nothing came up fitting what I am looking for.

I wish to lower my '05 Explorer XLT 4x4 with the 4.0 engine.

I do not wish to slam it, I am looking for about a 2" drop. The look I am going for is similar to the Trailblazer SS.

Which kits are the best and most comprehensive and will retain the smooth ride of my Explorer.

Also what is the widest tire and wheel combo I can mount while keeping the tires whithin the wheel wells (at a 25mm/5.96" backspaceing) and not interfere with the suspension.

TIA
