Size autosprings to get a level look?

I have a 2006 f150 xlt 4x2 and was wondering what size autosprings kit i will need to get a level look, i am thinking about 2" if the height is true. If this is the case, how everyone think it would look putting the 2.5" on it with some 2" blocks in the back, it would add a little rake back into it, but not the factory rake, while lifting the entire truck up around 2". Let me know your opinions, and trust me i am not hurt by the truth, its just an idea i had before i put a 3" body lift on in a few months.

I am also thinking of installing one or both of these items myself, are either difficult, or can they both be done in an afternoon with a couple guys. I was thinking about 3 hours for the 2 if i did blocks and the lift, but just checking to see the actual easy to install this, and not ruin my truck. Then i will just take it in to be realigned, thank you.

i wonder if these 2.5 spacers leveled you out because you have a 4x4. I know you have a 2" block that comes stock in the back of your truck, and i wonder if because of this you needed the extra height, because i hear usually 2" or so can level you out with a 4x2 which is what i have. i am trying to decide if i want to add the 2" block in the back but i dont know if this will just raise the truck up 2"
and leave me with the same factory rake, because i want the lift, but i dont want as much rake, and none of possible while still lifting the back.
