Welcome to the club.

I'd skip add a leaf. Makes a very hard ride and the amount of lift varies depending on how good your springs are. If they are that knackered you won't gain much other than a bad back.

Cheapest is the rascal and rear up front. Second hand set of lift springs too maybe?

Rascal springs are pretty much a straight fit on the rear.

The rears up front require either modded front shackles or a bracket/extension bit making as the springs are slightly longer.

Any pics of your truck? I've been around Silverdale with mine as stock it was fun though I did prefer it with my Broncos on. Tickhill Qaurry is fun too it's very open so a bit easier than Haying Wood in Silverdale it's pretty dark & enclosed there.
