What is the difference between a body lift kit and suspension lift kit?

A body lift raises the body of the vehicle higher above the frame of the vehicle. A body lift does not raise a vehicles frame above the ground (e.g. does not increase a vehicle's ground clearance) but it may allow for the installation of larger tires.
A lift kit raises a vehicle's frame further above the axles by using larger springs (or lift blocks placed between the springs and axles). This not only allows for larger tires but it also increases the height of a vehicles frame giving it more ground clearance and better off-road performance.
Beware, lift kits and body lifts raise a vehicles center of gravity and got this reason many states have body lift and suspension lift (lift kit) limits. Check with the laws in your state to find the laws in your state before making such modifications.

When installing a suspension lift kit on a vehicle that already has a body lift kit how should you determine what length of shocks to use?
The body lift does not matter, it just lifts the body. The only thing you need to worry about is the length the new suspension will add to the stock suspension. For example if you put on a 4" suspension lift then you will need to add about 5" - 7" inches in the shock to make sure you have enough up and down travel within the suspension lift, and that it does not "bottom out".

Of course. Body lifts just lift the body of the vehicle. While spacer lift kits lift your vehicle using the suspension. Body lifts will not improve clearance while spacer lift kits will.
Can you install a body lift with a leveling kit?
Yes. A body lift goes between a vehicle's body and the frame and a leveling kit is a block that is placed above or below a vehicle's front springs to level the suspension. The two are unrelated and will not interfere with each other.
