Gonna Lift...expect difference?
Regular stock truck; nothing fancy. Not a 4x4, just regular 2wd. Stock tires.
Planning to lift the front end so it is closer to level...not doing a high-rise job..just a little bit more level.
Will probably go with Blisteins (seem to be most recommended).
Questions:
1. As far as lifting, is there anything other a "spacer" that is needed?
2. Those who have done it, what lifter kit do you recommend? (again, nothing too extreme, just normal "level")
3. I assume a front-end alignment is required afterwards (true?)
4. Once completed (planning to buy the parts and take it to my trusted mechanic), what sort of handling differences should I expect?
5. Some folks say lifting the front is an invitation for trouble.. Why?
Thanks yall!

Skyjacker d25 coils are going to be the cheapest. I've had a pair on my truck since 02 with no problems. Or you could use coil spacers and keep your stock coils.

Also, if the WILL fit my truck, will I need a set of new "extended" shocks?
