'01 Leveling Kit ?????'s

2001 F350 FPS SD. The front is right at 4" lower than the rear.
I am going to put some kind of leveling kit on my truck this year. They make a truck look great, and I am planning on buying a 5th wheel camper and can immagine the level truck is better for hauling.
BUT! I'm confused as to which design I should go with. Hangers? Spacers? Tortion keys? Etc.? I mostly drive on pavement but do get off road for camping/hunting, etc. Would like to maintain a smooth ride. I am a driveway mechanic and am confident in being able to perform lift myself.
Also . . . if I go with a 4" lift in the front, will I have to change shocks? Or anything else?

I may eventually bump up the tire size. What is a nice "conservative" tire size to go with such a leveling mod? I don't want it to look like some kind of military vehicle on steroids.
