Default 4" lift gave level truck - looking for rear rake again

Recently got a 4" procomp with fox coilovers installed on 295/60r20's. Im looking to get the stock rake back, or something close to it. Should I be dropping the front or raising the rear? Im guessing putting a shim or bigger block in the rear would be easier, but I'd prefer to maintain better street ride quality. Will either way make a difference? Welcome your thoughts. I attached a photo. Thank you.

Truck looks great!

If you can go lower in the front without having tire clearance issues, I would probably do that.

Do you know what size rear block was installed? Factory block is 1.25" thick. Most aftermarket blocks are 2-5" thick.

Another thing to consider, if you decide to raise the rear instead, are the rear shocks. Do you know what height they are rated for? If they are only a +2 and you have a 3" rear block, for example, then you are pretty much max in the rear without buying new shocks.

Thank you for the input. Ill figure out block size and eear shock rating, and look to lower the front.

The truck rides great. Thanks again.

Don't know about procomp but my RC 4" lift kit, the rear shocks were longer, long enough to make up the distance even with added lift in the rear with airbags.
