best front suspension drop

i have been planning to drop my reg cab V6 f150 since i got it and have started to put in a good look as to whats out there.... while reading up on some kits i found some people saying a few things..

first... drop springs are a bad idea as they will set the alignment out (thats obvious) but the front of these trucks is set-up such a way i think the tie-rod ends would be out to far... im pretty sure thats what it was.... please someone correct me if they can...

drop spindles i have heard require nothing less than a 20" rim... something i dont want to have to use for winter and summer driving.... as it would be costly...

suspension arms i dont know much about as i havent much looked into them.... would i need to do anything special or fancy to get them to work???

im looking for a 3/5 drop preferably.... a 2/4 if i have too.... i know the rear on any truck is pretty easy but i also noticed a few different ways of going about that as well....

if anyone can help me out i would appreciate it... i know there is a search button but i dont feel like going throough pages and pages of info for probably nuttin'...
