Longshot has some great advice. Make sure you have sockets and or wrenches big enough for some of the LCA bolts. If I remember correctly, the bottom strut bolt is 1.75" nut or something.
I put on a 2.5" ProComp leveling kit. ~$100 and installed in 2 hours. Make sure you secure those back tires, these trucks are heavy, and a bit intimidating up in the air on jack stands.
I also fabricated a 1" rear block to add to my current 2" factory supplied block that the FX4s come with. So I'm 2.5" up in the front and 3" up in the back. I have a heavy bed cover so I'm pretty close to level now.
If you are planning on towing anything, your truck will sag, and air bags come in very handy, however, if you are planning on doing any 4-wheeling (like me!) , the air bags drastically limit the rear end articulation (not like it has a bunch anyways...).
I would definitely recommend HBS too. They make a quality product, but no complaints with my ProComp setup.
Cheers,
