what do I need to run 35's?

I have a 2001 f-250 crew cab and I want to run 35's. currently it has stock suspension and I am wondering if I should do a leveling kit or get a whole new suspension kit.

my concern with new leaf springs is they always tend to sagg over time but what will soften up the ride better, a whole new kit or new shocks and just leveling kit?

any input would be appreciated and recommendations of specific products please.

I have 35*14.50R16 on my truck and i have 16*10 rims with 4.5 backspacing. and i have a skyjacker add a leaf and 4in blocks in the rear. and i had to cut the bumper like an 1/8th of an inch and a small piece on the cab that you can't see unless you get under the truck. and they only rub on the leaf spring when you turn all the way. so if you got a little narrower tire they wouldn't rub. Hope that helps

Should be fine with a leveling kit!
