Default Help with leveling truck

I have a 2004 f150 fx4 and I have a 2.5" leveling kit and it still isn't level. It needs another inch to be level. Is there another way to make it level? I've considered using adjustable shocks but I've read that if you raise the front 3" or more no matter what, there will be ball joint problems

Did you get an alignment after you got the level?
Is it possible that your truck has some kind of rear lift like an add-a-leaf?
Are your Front springs worn out?

If your still not level it's more than likely that your struts are worn and are due to be replaced.

No I didn't get an alignment but it is aligned. I don't think it has an add a leaf on it. The previous owner was an old man and he hardly drove the truck. The truck only has 53,000 miles on it.

I don't see how they would be worn out the truck has barely been driven. Someone else i know has the same truck year model and everything and same leveling kit and it looks the same.
