Arrow To raise my front end, shackles or leveling kit?

Trying to figure out which way is the best way to go on this.

Stock 04 6.0 PSD. Want to level the front end. Leveling kit? Shackles? Springs? Leafs and springs?

Im looking for a level truck and a little more room for the 325 tires I have on there that rub.

Thanx!

Wouldn't a shackle lift be a better way to go?increase in suspension travel?

You mention leaf springs, so is it safe to assume you have a 4x4 rig?

I have shackles and they work great. No issues. Just my .02.

Shackles sound pretty good, I would like to find some 1" ones so I don't bottom out so often and don't have to raise the rear to level it out.
