I just swapped out the old worn out Rancho 3" front leafs and 3" rear blocks and stock leaf springs, for brand-new Zone Offroad 4" front leaf springs with an ORD zero rate add-a-leafs, and rear lift springs with ORD zero rate add-a-leafs offset in 1" towards the rear.
These pics are before the rear lift springs were installed. It gained 3-1/4" of lift in the front over the 2" it had.

I just swapped out the worn out rear stock leaf packs for some used rear lift leaf springs. They were sold to me as 4" lift springs, but they ended up only being 2-1/2" lift. I just added 2" rear lift blocks hoping it would put it level.
Then I removed the new 35×12.5R15 tires on 15x10 aluminum black wheels, and installed the practically new 38x15.5R15 Nitto Mud Grapplers on 15x10 Enkei wheels.
I think the rear needs to go up another 1".
What do you think about how the rear is sitting compared to the front?

The only regret I have running ton axles is not being able to fit a 15” wheel. Such a classic look.
Measuring from the level shop floor up to the very bottom of the pinch weld directly in front of the rear tires, is 26"
Measuring from the level shop floor up to the very bottom of the pinch weld directly behind the front tire, is 26.5"
I tried the 3" rear blocks first, and it was an 1" taller than the front. Then I installed the 2.5" rear blocks, and now it's only 1/4" higher than the front.

You can run a 15” wheel with some light grinding, considering the overall thickness of the caliper and brackets it’s no big deal.
I like the look of it the way it is. IMO
Do you have a pic with the 3” blocks?
Could do a shackle flip and get rid of the blocks… maybe a 2.5 flip shackle and a 1” block.
Just thinking out loud.
I like the old school look of those rims !
Classic!

I think the angle of the picture makes it look sagging, it fine the way it is
It was 10:30 PM last night when I got done torquing down the ORD u-bolts to 110 lb ft, so I didn't get a picture of it with the 2.5" blocks added to the rear.
It looks really good now for how it sits on the level shop floor. I'll get some pics of it after work today to show the difference on how it sits now.

This is how it sits now. It looks better to me.
