Default Leveling... and tint

This weekend i plan on doing bunch of stuff to my 01 paint rims, bed rails, and Iwant to tint my front windows to be dark like rear windows can I buy the stuff or where can I take it? And also level out the front with the rear so it looks better, do I need torsion keys or a leveling kit to achieve this? Or I have heard of people cranking the torsion bars, how do i achieve it leveled? Could you guys post some pics with leveling kits and say what you have done? I have stock tires as of now

it helps telling us what truck you have. Is 4x4 or not. On window tint I reccomend taking it to a pro, they have matching software to correct choose the right tint.
