AAl leaf, rear block, or Firestone air rite?

I want to have the best ride possible. I don't do much towing, and I don't do much hauling, every now and then but not very often. I already purchased the 2.5AS front spacer and from what I hear I am most likely going to need something in the back as i don't like the rear down look. So what do you guys think will give me the best ride that I am looking for? Its an 07 FX4

Just throw an AAL in the back. The 2.5 in the front will sit you pretty much level, so get a 2" AAL in the back and you will get the slight rake look back again.

I added a Pro Comp AAL to the rear of my truck. The AAL was easy to install in my driveway (it took about an hour total), and rides very nicely. In fact, I think I prefer the ride with the AAL. Before and after measurments show right at a 2" lift.

I just put on an AS 2.5" and a skyjacker aal on sunday and it was pretty easy...unless you count all the broken tools. The instructions do suck though. Plus none of us doing it had done it before and it took about 2 hours for the aal.... It should have gone faster but we were doing a lot of goofin off. On my 05 screw when we were done the top of the front wheel well was at 40" and the rear was at 41", but I think that the suspension will settle a little after it gets driven a little.
