A leveling kit evens out the front end with the back end (the stock setup is higher in the back end) . i have the daystar kit (http://www.daystarweb.com/ItemForm.a...9-8512f994e742) which runs about $130. there's other manufacturers too. I had my local mechanic do the work, but you could probalby do it yourself if your mechanically inclined. you'd probably need to have this kit if you want to go with bigger tires, depending on the size you want.

When I had mine mounted last month they also had them aired up pretty hard, 55+to seal the bead, dropped it down to 42 a couple of weeks later and it improved the ride ten fold.

The K&N, nothing you can feel in the seat of your pants, I just have used their products in my past three trucks and like the concept of better airflow.
