rear lift

I have a 2000 f150 4x4 ext cab. I want to lift the rear a little bit, to give it that racked look. What is the easiest way to do this?

Add-a-leaf. Its good for about 1.5-2" even if they say 2.5"

Just had a spring shop install an extra leaf each side to help with my truck leaning to the left; not quite perfect (got a post about what to do next) but better. The shop said the amount of lift depends on how much extra cargo capacity their customers want. Basically, greater the load capacity equals greater lift. I only went for another 500 lbs, didn't need anything heavier. Not sure exactly how much difference it made as I hadn't measured it recently before taking it in.

I don't know anything about the ready-made add-a-leaf kits you can buy but I would reccomend checking with a good spring shop first. This place has a top-notch reputation and they did good work. Total cost was only $106.
