Cant' go wrong with new leafs in the front.
The 250' leafs are a bit more stout if you wanna go that route, not sure how it will effect ride.
I'm in this predicament too, i have add a leafs up front, and i'm raked forward more than I want as well. I want it to sit level, but I dont want to spend to much before d60 conversion.

You do realize it's supposed to be higher in the back right? That's so your headlights don't aim at the moon when you put a load in the back.
If you change it you will regret it when you try to tow heavy with it.
Also if your front end is sagging, just take it to a spring shop. They can fix it right and usually it is just bushings. The springs almost never wear out on any of these trucks. They can be rearched with new bushings on the spring eyes and shackles for about 500 bucks on all 4 springs at most places that do leaf springs.
This will not mess up your alignment or handling either.
