Lift blocks or springs ???

Lift blocks or springs ???
My 01 looks a little funny to me. Its 2WD. I have the camper special overload springs in the rear which make the rear end sit a tad higher. But the front has nothing but a 1100 lb engine on its end. So my truck is pitched slightly nose down. I want to level it so both ends sit even.
I can get either the 2" lift blocks or I can get the bigger springs from Skyjacker. Which do you guys reccomend?

The leveling kit is cheapest, but the springs are the better way to go, in my opinion. I hat emy leveling kit. When I load the truck now, instead of sitting level, or close to it, the change the leveling kit has made to how the truck sits causes the rear end to sag like a half ton. This is especially noticable when I have a lot of tongue weight on it.
To do it right, you also need to change the shocks, because you chnage the travel points of the shocks as those are not relocated with the leveling kit. I have not had any problems that I know of, even though I did not change my shocks, but that would be the proper way to do it.
