Time for a lift

Time for a lift
My truck is a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500
I have been looking at suspensions for a while now and I am ready to buy.
I have a few questions that maybe someone could help me out with. I am looking at the Tuff Country 4.5 inch lift. I don't plan on taking my truck off road. It is my DD and I just want something better looking.
My questions are:
1. How do I go about changing the 5 inch coil spacers to lift springs and shocks? I don't like the idea of that big of a spacer.
2. What brands should I be looking at for the shocks and lift springs?
3. Do I need to be concerned about brake lines at this height? If there is a issue could I use SS braided brake lines.
4. I would like to run the 4.5 inch lift with a 3 inch body and 37s possibly 38s. At this tire size what would be the best looking width?
Thanks for the help.

can't answer all questions - but what about the unbeatable kore springs (2") with a 2" spacer for a total of 4 inches? for the rear just get new leafs custom made or install blocks. for the sway bar end links, lazarsmith sells a steering stabilizer with a 2" drop incorporated for the sway bar, then just get 2" longer sway bar end links, again lazarsmith makes these . . . .
