Default Front level with rear blocks

I have a 2011 f150 eco 4x4. Ive searched around on the site and could not figure this out. I've seen a few people with front level 2" or 2.5 " with rear 3" block. I'd like to keep a little rake to my truck. I would like to do this to my truck but can't figure out if theres a aftermarket kit that has this all in one deal or u have to buy and mismatch kits to do this. Which is best? I wanna get the best bang for my buck while have a good quality product. Any info from someone that's done this or knows bout this would help out. Thanks.

U could always get a 1.5 inch kit and leave the rear alone. If u do want the all in one kit, WWW.autospringcorp.com has them. They also have an ebay store if u want to get it that way. 2.5 inch front level would be the max I would recommend. I have autospring level and am happy with it. They also have 1.5, 2 or 2.5 inch level. Decisions, decisions.

Yeah don't wanna go higher than 2.5 in the front from what I heard. If I just raised the front with a 1.5 I might be noise high which I don't want...I will be noise high when I hook up the trailer or boat if that's what I did. That's what I still want to keep rake so it's not so bad when I do haul things. I measured from the ground to the top of my wheel well the fronts 37.5" and rears 39". My rears lower than normal cus I have a camper shell on the back. Right now the rake dosent look bad just wanna raise it a bit and get some larger tires.

This is why I went with airbags. Adjustability and ability to stay level, even with a load. Paid 200 from autoanything.com. check this thread I did about just that. https://www.f150forum.com/f2/airbags...o-load-132138/
