Default Need "actual" leveling help

I have the HBS 2.5 inch front spacers but my truck is WAY higher than my buddies, and he has a 3". What size rear blocks would I need to go with? Anyone know?
I switched rims and its really noticeable now. It bothers the mess out of me.
Here's a photo

Holy crap! You sure that's just a 2.5? Or that the strut that's on it wasn't a leveling strut? Maybe the rear sags I don't know but I thought the 04-05 had more rake to take out then my 08? I have a 2.5 and I'm barely nose high

What size are those tires? That doesn't look right. Your front looks way higher than it should be with a leveling kit. Take a picture of the upper control arm. I bet it is jammed up against the coil spring.

I bet you have bilstein or rancho leveling shocks with a leveling kit stacked on top. Take a picture of the front shock area and we can figure it out. That probably rides really bad and is wearing on your ball and cv joints pretty harshly

I see your leveling kit on top, but it looks like there is a bigger spacer on top of the spring. Here is what mine looks like. It is just an XLT, not a FX4, so i don't know if that's why is different than mine.
