Default Need your help guy's!! Front is over 2" taller than the rear

I have a 2011 Ford F-150 FX4 super crew and I recently got a 6.5" McGaughy's suspension lift installed with 35" tires.. I'm happy with everything on the lift accept the sag in the rear! I measured the rear and we figured out the front is over 2" taller than the rear and its driving me crazy!
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get 2 more inches in the rear? I'll take anything from backyard DIY fixes to pro jobs. Thanks for any help!

How about taking it back to where you had to lift done & ask them?

That's crazy. It has that Prerunner look which would make me nuts. How about add-a-leaf? That should level it out. I can't believe the place that did the lift thought it looked ok.

Agree that the place that installed your lift should fix this. Only other suggestion would be a 3" rear block?

more than likely the case.
I do like a little lean but 2" is a bit overkill. 1" is about perfect IMO.
taller block, replacement lift springs, add-a-leaf, shackle flip are all options

That is just NOT right.....take it back to the shop where you had the lift installed --- they owe you a free fix for that issue....did you not see that when you picked it up, or did they assure you that it would "settle" after driving it for a while?
That just looks wrong in so many ways.

On top of that, who would go pick up there truck, look at that and say "yep, that looks good, how much money do I owe you". Maybe this sag developed after the lift was installed.
