Default 2.5 front level and 3 inch block done, too much rake

I had the 2.5 inch (leveling) lift done on front and they put 3 inch blocks on my back. The rake on is alot i feel, very noticeable.

i have a 2016 sport 4x4.

i measured the height from ground to fender in front and its 40 1/4 inches

i measure the height in back and its 43 3/4 inches.

What can i do to bring the front up more. I like height of the back but just wanna get rid of some of the rake of the truck. Adjustable coilovers?

You already know the cheap and easy solution is a smaller rear block. Couldn't you live with an inch lower in the back? Seems much less painful than solving the front issue. Just my 2 cents.

not looking to save money, i like the rear height, i would rather bring the front up if possible then bring the back down. Plus doing all that over again just for 1 inch, the truck will still have a 2.5 inch rake. Doesnt really fix it.

First thing I'd do is check to make sure they didn't stack blocks that 3" block shouldn't raise the rear that much to my knowledge

You are pretty much maxed out in the from for level. Anything over 2.5" will be too hard on the suspension, because the angles will be too much...

Yeah your measurements tell me there's a lot of rake. Seeing that picture my eyeballs disagree. I get how pics can be deceiving though.
