depends how much you want to spend. add-a-leaf kits are relatively cheap but you can do a reverse shackle kit, such as the one from PMF, which will level the truck and make it ride ten times smoother also.

This is what I will be using. The add a leafs do level it up but ride quality is terrible

92-97 Ford F-250/350 2" 4x4 Front Shackle Reversal ? Sky Manufacturing

The shackle reversal is the way to go

Do these trucks take a 1.5 inch or 2 inch kit to level the front with the rear?

Have you checked your front leaf/shackle bushings? Mine with new bushings and very sagged 300k+ springs was in the 1.5 range. I would suggest find some flat ground and measure at the rocker and see what your truck needs.

If your not concerned with the height, you can lower the rear with shorter blocks.
