springs or spacers for leveling kits?

I know this thread has been beaten to death time and time again but getting ready to break down and buy a new set of shoes for the truck. And was wanting to go with 35/12.50/20's and was wanting to know what everyone is running for leveling kits? Springs or spacers, the pros and cons of each and what else is recommended when doing a leveling kit? shocks, adjustable sway bar links, control bar links don't know a whole lot on this suspension tid bit and wanting to know everyones feedback. Thanks jared

I put Top Gun's spacers on.

It really depends on if you just want more clearance or you would like to improve the ride. Go with springs if you want a better ride and are willing to spend the extra cash or spacers if you want a little more clearance and don't want to spend much. About $70 for spacers or $385 for Kore's spring kit. What do you prefer?

Don't worry. You're fine. A track bar is optional, but not absolutely neccesary. With it only being 1.5 inches you stock shocks should be good too.
