new suspension

I want a better suspension for my truck when I go off road with my friends. I'm thinking of just adding a new leaf on the rear and installing Bilstein 5100's on the front. The rear is approx. 2"-2.5" higher than the front and I know that adding a leaf will raise it even more. Will the 5100's raise the front end at all? Or should I go with a different front suspension setup? Be in mind, I am an 18 yo college student, but at the same time I'm tired of waking up every morning to a stock truck.
Thank you!
