Front coil springs

Ive got a 77 f150 4x4 reg cab with a very HD winch bumper and 8k warn up right. My uncle that passed away built the bumper so im not letting it go. I currently have 6.5" superlift coils up front and 5.5" superlift soft ride leaf springs in the rear, and the truck still nose dives about 1.5-2 inches. My Question is I want to get some 9" springs for the front (and probaly a new or modified d-shaft) to level and maybe give the truck an inch higher stance up front. My problem is to go with skyjacker or superlift. I know the skyjacker will ride better hands down, but the superlift springs will be firmer and might be better for the bumper weight. Thanks for any help or input. And I am staying away from bodylifts and cutting the fenders since I want the truck body to look as it did when my uncle had it.

6 of one, half a dozen of the other,,,,, I have skyjacker coils, and they seem to be holding up well.

Does everyone else feel the same way? Would I be better off with an extended front d shaft or a double u joint dshaft?
