its personal preference, i would either go f250 springs or a level that gives you new springs. the springs on the truck now are probably worn out so thats my reasoning behind just getting new ones.

f250 coils, your ride would be a little stiffer, or just a level with new springs and your ride will probably not change at all.

f250 springs are around $80-100 + alignment and new bushings which comes to around $150.
a leveling kit with springs is around $140 i believe and just carry over the alignment and bushing costs.

I found that there wasn't that much difference between the cost of the spacers needed, and the cost of new springs. New original-spec F150 springs brought things right back in line, it seems the old springs had sagged about 1.5 inches, plus I got to keep the original suspension travel, instead of shortening things up as would be done with spacers.

Since the front end had been aligned with the old springs, had to get things dialed back in after the replacement.
