Help Level my SD!

I have a 03 250 4x4 reg. cab SD that I need to level up. I just put the f-350 blocks under the back. I think I now need 3.5-4 inches under the front? Which way do I go? New springs, or spring pack? Thanks!

I've got a 2.5" leveling kit and Bilsteins all the way around. It rides a little stiffer than stock. It sits 3/4" lower in the front. Pics in my gallery.......

probably hangers and shackles, unless you can find a used spring lift somewhere. you could do just a shackle for about 1.5", for less than 60 new bucks probably.
