Question All round best suspension setup?

This is probably the most frequently asked question but with all the varying opinions on the topic I'm looking for some clarification. I've got a 97 f350 crew cab long bed. I want to lift it to clear some aggressive looking 35's. From what research I've done I'm leaning towards doing a reverse shackle kit on the front, maybe swapping out the springs, new bushings, etc. On the rear I'm planning on leaving it stock unless there is a better set up that does away with even the factory blocks. I want the truck to ride as well as possible without sacrificing towing and durability. I'm not too concerned about cost. I'm selling my 2011 king ranch to fund this project.
Thanks for the help.
