Default Suggestions for 1" rear lift ?

I have an 06 4x4 with a 6" RCX lift and the rear is 1/2" lower than the front. I would rather 1/2" higher in the rear but can't figure out the easiest way to go about doing it. I know my leafs or pretty old. I have looked at the leaf assists at advance for $59 and they go on the rear end of the leafs but I am not sure. I'm open to any and all suggestions

change the size of your rear blocks.. or what i would do is buy new leafs and ace the blocks altogether..

I have the 6" blocks that come with the rough country kit. Techrep do you know a good site I could get new springs from ?

Very good price on that site. With the 6" lift I have could the rear being 1/2" lower than the front be due to my leafs being almost 8 years old because they really don't have any arch to them ?

sorry for the misspell. I assume the 1/2" difference in the rear is due to my leafs being almost 8 years old

Why not run an add a leaf? That'll bring up the rear and inch to an inch an a half, you'll get almost a thousand pounds more load capacity, and they're relatively inexpensive. I just got a set from autospring and I'm very happy with it. The install wasn't bad either.

I'm looking on eBay and It says 1 1/2-2" but will that be too much considering I'm only 1/2" lower in the rear? The price is $116 which isn't bad at all just want to clarify before ordering.
