I'd go with the TRD springs. That'll drop you a little more than an inch and give you a progressive coil rather than static spring rate.

-5 on the rear with a 8" wide wheel would be pretty flush. May need to roll/pull the fenders a little, but would be sweet. On the front I would go with about a +10 if you want to tuck without much work needed. A 8" with a zero offset pokes just a hair, so I think a + 10 would fit nicely.
