4wd leveling kit...

Quite simply, would I be better off going the mini spring pack route, add a leaf, or drop shackles?

Also, will I need longer than stock shocks? I need to replace mine anyways but Im not sure if they need to be longer.

I really only want to level the truck out and run 35" tires. So I dont tthink I need more than 2 or 2.5" lift in the front.

I personally think the X code springs are the best route, although that being said, I have 2.7" mini leafs, and I run 315/75/r16's roughly 34.7" tall, and I did have not had any issues with the spring packs. The drop shackles are an effective cheaper option as well.

One thing with the mini leafs, is that you keep the same shock travel as the lower mount is atop the spring pack already.
