Add a leaf/overloaders/heavy shocks??

Wanting to well rounded feedback on this one if no one minds. The more info the better.
(Without pending doom on a stock 9" F100 axle) what is an easy way to get a better stance, bigger payload, without a bumpety bump ride from hell)?
Let the info flow.....TIA

Agreed, airbags are the way to go. Shocks will not change the "stance" unless they are air-assist style shocks or the spring-assist shocks. Both are less than desirable.
