Default Need to replace shocks so thinking about getting a lift...help

So my 2006 is at 130k miles and I think it's time to replace the shocks as the driver side is sagging quite a bit. I have a leveling kit on the front so I have a choice to make. Do I just go ahead and replace the shocks/struts with the factory height or do I get a 4 inch lift for the front with a 2 inch lift for the rear and get rid of the leveling kit since the 4/2 would give me a level ride)?

If I do go the 4"/2" lift route, what do you guys (and girls) suggest? Brand? Part numbers? do I need special tools? etc

Shocks don't support the vehicle, so the sag will remain.
