Most lifts start at 4", you can get a leveling kit to raise the front a copule inches, to level it with the back.
You can get them at a bunch of places, I like WWW.NTWonline.com
No offense, but if your asking if you can do it yourself, then probably best to have a shop do it for you.

Well, I tell you what, lifting a SD is one of the easiest lifts to install.
All that is required , is to replace the front springs, track bar bracket, shocks, sway bar links, replace rear springs, or add blocks, rear shocks, and depending on your config, shim the carrier bearing.
You also can go with a shackle kit, and then retain your factory ride, because you will use your stock springs.
There are some other options, like an adjustable track bar, and other bolt ons that you can do also.
If you have a couple good floor jacks, and some heavy duty jack stands, and 1 friend to give you a hand lifting...you can get it done in 4+ hours.
Air tools and heat are a plus....
As far as companies to go with, I can recommend SuperLift, Donahoe, Fabtech.. based on my own experiences.
I think SuperLift has a pdf with instructions on their website.... www.superlift.com
On edit, I wasn't putting down your mechanical ablitly, sorry if it came off that way....and you will get all the help you need in this forum....
