Add a leaf or add airbags? That is THE question

I have a 2007 F150 4X4 supercab 6.5 box 3.73 ratio.

I don’t necesseraly want to increase the payload capacity (even though that would be great) but I want to make sure that there won’t be too muck rake when payload is at it’s max.

I am looking towards 2 options : Add a leaf or add airbags to the suspension. And, of course, each of the options has it’s pros and cons.

Add a leaf is a lot cheaper but it might lift the rear a bit when there’s no payload at all in the truck and it might also stiffen the ride quite a bit. Is that true?

Abb airbags costs a lot more and I’ll need to adjust the air pressure each time I'll change the payload if I want to keep some kind of a comfy ride.

I’d like to hear from those who made one of these 2 modifications and what they like or don’t like about them….

Thanks!
