Default Quick lift question

Please don't hit me with the "search" answer. I'm looking for some quick info here. I installed the Zone leveling kit on my 2012 Lariat 4x4. Truck is perfectly level. Question is what is my easiest route to go up one inch all around? I assume a 1 inch block in the rear but what about the front? I would even consider a 1/2 inch bump. I put 34's on it recently so I'd like a little more lift.

Thanks everyone.

To get more lift in the front you would have to go with a 2.5" kit. I believe there's a company that makes a 3" front leveling kit, but 3" isn't recommended for 09+ F150s.

I did the Zone 2 inch to get rid of the rake. So with the auto spring 2.5 and rear 3 I'd maintain level but go up 1 inch or 1/2?

You'd go up about a 1/2 in front and another inch or so in the back.. It's your only way at this point unless you want to full out lift it

Rear would go up about 1.5 inch as the oem blocks are just about 1.5 inch or so...u would still have about a 2 inch rake I think is what I measured mine at...just hite the bullet and go with a full 4 inch suspension lift

So if the rear block is 1.5", why not go with a 2".
