Question Lift Kits

What would be the better lift kit to use on my '99 F250.... since I'm not extremely concerned with off-road performance, the majority of my driving will be on-road driving, and my main concern is fitment of larger wheels would it be more cost-efficient to run shackle lifts since they do not affect ride as much as add-a-leaf kits or block kits....or should I just purchase the add-a-leaf kit and save myself the worry of some kind of malfunction?

I'm thinking I just would like to level my truck so either 2 or 2.5 inch lift, and the size tire I'm thinking probably somewhere in the vicinity of 30-33s......but as of right now I'm just concerned with leveling the truck.

just get a add-a-leaf kit..

the 30-33" tires will fit the rear without any lift at all..

but for the front a simple 2.5" addaleaf will be all u need..
