With 4" springs, go with a raised steering arm. That will completely correct your steering issues, because it's raised 4". Also go with the sway bar lowering bracket, if you intend on keeping it. It's just a bracket that goes between your frame and sway bar that gives it somewhere to mount once the frame is 4" further from the axle. If you're handy, you can fabricate a pair with no problem. With regard to your driveshaft angle, 4" isn't too steep. The springs you order may or may not come with small shims, and the blocks you get will most likely be tapered. This should help. The driveshafts technically should be lengthened, but plenty of people (including myself) get away with even more lift without lengthening the driveshafts.
