Try to buy the best components possible for what you want to do. There are essential parts to a lift, but they don't have to all be purchased as a kit or from the same manufacturer.
Do a 4-link from the get-go...radius arm drop kits are a pita and don't allow for alot of caster flexibility. This is a very sensitive item on the 05+. Your truck will ride like crap if you do not address this problem correctly.
Here are som recommendations:
DR/Icon 5" rear springs
DR/Icon / Rize basic box kit
Full Traction 4-link / Rize 4-link
Fox or King coilovers (allows felexibility in going higher later)
Fox or King 2.5 rear shocks
Rize coilover conversion
DR/Icon adjustable trac bar
Rize or Farmboy Fabrications traction bars (to eliminate wheel hop/axel wrap)
Gears to turn those big tires
One up Offroad carrier bearing drop bracket / screw the shims and vibrations
to do all of the things you are wanting to do correctly, you are looking at well over $8000, and proabably more like $11000 when it is all said and done. Lifting an SD is not cheap, but it is more expensive to do it twice because you cut corners.
