Looking for suspension advice

Just sold my '94 4.9 E-250 Cargo Van. After chasing the stumble/bucking at acceleration for 4 years I fixed it and the buyer is getting a clean van that runs great. Now I need to get my 97 E-350 Window Van going. It's been sitting as a storage shed and I want to start using it. It was a passenger van turned maintenance van that I bought at school auction. I want to add a leveling lift to the front, change the sway bar to one that doesn't use bushings, new shocks, and nicer tires and rims. It will be mostly a work truck but I want it to look like it has a bit of "adventure" to it. I'll wait til I get a newer van with power doors and windows to do a full suspension lift. I want to know what issues I need to look out for with the leveling lift. I believe that the leveling lift is not as preferred as the suspension lift and I'm ok with that for this van. Are there any other changes I need to make so the tires won't wear unevenly? The tires on it now are 245 75R16's with stock rims. Thanks
