Leveling kit. Shackles or spring pack? 2001 F250 4x4.

Forgive my ignorance. I've only lifted my coil sprung Jeep.
I just bought a friend's SD, but it's stupid tall.
Since I am comfortable with my manhood, the huge lift and giant tires with be coming off. I am going to be swapping front leaf springs, rear blocks, and shocks with a stock truck.
I still want a small lift for 35's, and I've seen both types. Which one to go with?
Any pictures would help. Thank you!

Here's the patient.

I have a spring lift, and I would recommend it.

I have 315's on my truck and they fit inside the wheel well very well.

I have the zone offroad 2.5" with the adjustable trackbar, install was easy, rides great, looks great, and 35's fit no problem.

I'm gonna say it is going to depend on the offset of those wheels if you plan on keeping them.

I had an Icon 4.5" lift on my old 2002 with 35x12.5x17 tires and it didn't rub at all. For reference this truck was about 7'1" to the highest point. I could get it in the garage if I aired down the tires...not that I did that everyday.
