Shocks make or break ride characteristics more so than spring rate. If you have a good quality damper(Bilstein/OME), your ride will have the best chance at being what you're looking for.

I actually have this exact lift (IRO), in my opinion it gets the job done, but i would try to get a new front track bar and some control arms to go with it. Quite honestly i would not lift it at all being your daily driver, your more than likely gonna get death wobble and that is not fun, but if your gonna get a lift this would be a good choice.
