Something like this would work just fine. That's what I use, they are like $5 and they work very well for drop tuning. Yeah, listen to "Pursuit of Vikings" and listen to him chug his low string. And then chug your low E, listen to how much lower his sounds. That's because he's dropped his low E string alllllll the way down to A. Same goes for the other strings.
It's important to note that switching the gauge of strings that severely may require a truss rod adjustment because the tension on the neck has changed so drastically.
While skimming through string sets, I came across Dunlop's Heavy Gauge
