Default lifted but want it leveled

I have the 2.5 leveling kit and 1.5 rear block and my truck doesnt sit level at all. If I could raise the front maybe 1 1 1/2 inches it would be perfect. What could I do to do that? I dont have torsions bars its an 08 4x4

You need to bring the rear down to level it OR ditch the level and go with a true suspension lift. 2.5" is the limit on an IFS truck as your CVs are already at the maximum safe angle.

Real suspension lifts have drop bracketry to maintain proper front end angles that "poor man lifts" do not and thus can attain more lift safely...

Yea i should have went into more detail like Hammer did but I was at work. To level the truck you only would have needed the 2.5" level kit. The block wasn't necessary and just gave you a stock look but with a 2" body lift lol. But a full on suspension lift is the way to go. Just get a 4" kit

Ya I figured i was sol but thought I would try. Ill just leave it as it sits. It looks lifted and people think its a 4 inch lift with the 35's so that makes me happy lol. I would like to do a 4 inch suspension lift but dont wanna shell out close to a grand for it haha.

Another option is to remove the blocks from the rear, leave the level kit in the front and put in a 3" body lift (under $400)...
