I seen one guy years ago did a kamback on his ranger, off the cab, but he couldn't get it quite right and it only caused drag

"Ideal" can only be defined in the context of what you are comfortable doing to your own truck, how you plan to use it, how much time and money you want to spend, and what results you actually want. You need to nail those down first. In fact, "optimized" is the better word, and what OEMs typically use to describe the process of aerodynamic development.
I started a website a couple weeks ago. You might find these useful:

I'll be updating it with more on my truck as I test things this spring.
