    There is no "best" way to lift. It depends on your intended use of the truck and your pocketbook. I have OME all around with "Air Lift" levelers on the rear. Perfect for me going off road in the Rockies and the desert of Utah, as well as pulling a small boat when loaded with camping & fishing gear. If you aren't leaving the pavement that would all be a little over-kill for you.
