Default Leveling out the rear

I just finished putting new springs in the front of my truck which raised it higher than the rear. The front of the rear fender measures 18.5" of clearance and the back of the front fender measures 21.5" of clearance, so theres a 3 inch difference. Im guessing i should be measuring over the suspensions and that would make an even bigger difference, like 4"? Now im wondering, would i split the difference and raise the rear 2" or would i raise the rear 3-4"? Im trying to level it out. Thanks for any help

The best way to measure the height is from the lower wheel edge to the fenderwell. Then go from there for what needs to be done and how much.

You could do it the right way and use taller leafs or you could put some blocks in.
