OK here is my take on what you are planning to do.
It appears that you have roughly $26k at your discression. 23500 for the truck and 2500 for the lift. Now you can buy a new truck and lift it, in which case you would be losing the money that you paid for the new factory suspension parts or you could by an '03 - '04 L2 near the end of is warranty go about 16 - 17k, buy the RCD lift which actually provides you a better suspension then the stock. And also buy an explorer express supercharger and jba headers..
This would give you a lifted 6 inch lifted truck with about 250 rwhp. That would be able to kick the butt of any stock '05 truck.
Your total cost break down would be about.
17k - truck
4k - SC
2.5k - lift
.5k - Headers
1k for other upgrades/installation
Total 25k

You know that other guy that's looking at the black 03 levelii? Yeah, I'm trying to trade my 04 in so I can get the manual t-case.

this has been discussed many times, all comes down to how much money you want to spend.
Which is better ? RCD its more lift and gets rid of the T-bars, Its also almost 2x the cost of a superlift.
There is also weldtec

and Dixion Brothers but they are not a lift really they are a long travel kit and they are over $5K
Personally i have a PA body lift which is like $300 and the first one you do is hard but if you have someone that has done them before its easy.
I am planning an RCD or a weldtec one day maybe a year or 2
