Default Need SUSPENSION HELP, anyone?

Hey guys. So heres the story. I purchased a 95 f150 xl Single shock coils etc you know the deal. It wasnt level stock. So i purchased a rough country leveling kit, with only coils. I installed the coils, and obviously itneeds an alignment due to off camber where my wheels are sitting like this \ / . Anyway, did upperballjoints and got the skyjacker camber caster shims, and anyway, havent gotten those in yet, cause im not aligning it till this thing is completely level which its not, and here lies my question.

MY QUESTION:
My truck is still not level. The coils were installed correctly, we torqued everything right and did every step correctly and it drives nice. And yeah. The thing is still not level. Any suggestions or tips on how to get it level? It obviously rides a little better but i want my truck level. I hear spacers will work but im not sure what to do. I dont see any difference in height in the truck. Maybe minimal but the thing is not level.

Are you wanting to raise the front or lower the rear to level it?

To do it right you will need lift spindles.

What do you mean by lift spindles? I have coils that are bigger than stock that are supposed to lift it, which it didnt make a difference... The rear is still higher than the front.
