Lots of White and Grey smoke on cold start!

When I start my truck in the morning even with it plugged in, after i crank it for about 3 seconds it fires but runs really ruff and blows massive amounts of white and grey smoke and shakes horrifically. After bout 10 seconds it smooths out and runs fine. I noticed that my return line of the fuel filter seems wet, and my return lines off the #1 injetor over to the ip is saturated with fuel as well as the line that runs to the next injector in the passanger side bank. All other lines dry and no signs of leaking.

Plan is to go ahead and replace all glow plugs as well as new injector return line kit (current one is 5 to 6 years old), new lift pump (seeing how it has never been replaced) and should i replace the return lines that go back to the as well? Should I pull the injectors while I am at it and take a peek at them? Anything else i should do while i have things are somewhat easy to get to? Am i on the right track with solving this hard to start issue?
