Levelling a Superduty

Levelling a Superduty
I have a 2004 Superduty Supercab 4x4 and everytime I look at it parked it looks like it is low in the rear compared to the front. Many other trucks like it look the same way. The truck looks like it is loaded down when it is empty. I tried measuring the wheel well spacing and they appear to be very close but the truck still looks like it is sitting low.
Has anyone done anything to cure this look. I've thought about a lift kit but if I lift it too much it won't fit in my 7 foot high garage door. Maybe I can add an extra leaf spring in the rear or something. Not sure how high it would lift the truck though. How about torsion bars in the front, can they be lowered?
Any levelling kits I have found online all want to lift the front of the truck, not the rear.
Has anyone done this?
Any other ideas?

Get an F350 block for the rear and lose the f250....the factory block not an aftermarket one. That should help you a little...if that doesn't work, get a set of airbags and inflate to about 60 PSI...thats what I do on my dodge

you could use shackles....but i dont trust them if you are pulling heavy loads etc...
one thing though is that if the truck is level and then you lift it your traction is going to get worse.

A friend on mine put f350 blocks in the rear of his truck. The only thing is that it may not LEVEL the truck out. Which is probably alright in cases where you are hauling. It was slightly higher in the rear. It still looked good.
Look on the classifieds or some of the other ford superduty forums or even ebay. Your bound to find something cheap on there.
