Leveling ? - "big-ugly"

Sorry to bother yall again, but I can't seem to ignore this great resource! If anyone has been reading my other posts, you already know that I am very soon going to be replacing my front wheel bearings and having some exhaust hung. So my question is, while I have the front end apart, should I get some f250-f350 springs and level the truck out a bit? Right now I have 31" tires on the truck, and it rakes to the front pretty good. I would like to see less gap between the tires and the fenders/box sides. The truck is a 1989 f150 4x4 w/ quad shocks in the front and overload springs in the rear. Eventually I would like to stuff 33" or 35" tires under it, but for now the 31's are gonna have to do, as they have almost new tread on them. The truck also is currently riding lower on the passenger side, about an inch or so. Along with this and the wheel camber on that side, I am hoping that I can get these issues worked out. (this is the reason for the bearings being replaced). As always, any and all opinions are exceptionally welcome! Thank you in advance for your time, I greatly appriciate what you all do for me here!
