Not Low Enough
I have a 2021 F150 Lariat and used a Belltech 3/5 lowering kit with IHC helper bags and ended up using the IHC upper control arms due to camber. My issue is that its not quite low enough at the rear I have 3" gap up front but 4.5 to 5" still at rear thats with only 15lbs in the helper bags.
What options do I have to lower another 1 to 1.5" at rear? Someone mentioned adding a block where others say drop shackles. I can adjust the height using the helper bags if need it higher but not for lower

IMO, you should leave it alone. Trucks are supposed to have rake, and yours looks great.
Otherwise, like you said, the choice is adding blocks or drop shackles. Blocks will require longer u-bolts and can really exaggerate axle wrap under hard acceleration. I have never used them, but read shackles will probably require notching the supports on the bottom of the bed.
