RoughContry 4.5" Need help!

So i been trying to research a ton of info and didnt see any revew on 4.5 RoughCountry 4.5 lift kit ? I dont think i like the spacer in the front ,so i think get taller front springs and sell mine maybe .I allready have Prorated front springs ,so my nose looks like it level with back.Any one out there has this set up installed ? Is it good kit ? or its a waste of money ? im thinking 295/70/18 on stock rim with it.Also going to add a leaf in the back.
Please give me some advise ,I dont want to F... Up $55 K truck !
Thanks!

The reason i want a lift kit is get my rear up a little ,my truck sits level right now ,cause i have plow prep package ,that gave me 1 1/2 higher front springs,so if i go another 2" up on the front its gonna look like crap Plus i dont know if i like a spacer ,so I was thinking taller spring and like 5" ready lift block on rear with add a leaf ? so the bed gonna look up a little .My trailer over 14000 lb ,its no joke how much my rear sag is ...
