2010 F150 4x4 I need 1.5 all around

I have a 2010 4x4 F150 with 20in tires and wheels. I want to go up 1.5/2 inches on all 4 corners. I carry a good bit of weight and I have a ARE cover so the truck sits level but I want to go up at least 1 size on the tires and am looking for suggestions.

I am thinking about the level kit for the front but do I use an aftermarket block on go add a leaf for the rear. I do tow on occasion but I drive 1000 miles a week so I do not want to stiffen up the ride to much.

I saw an add on EBAY for a guy named springbender that seemed to have a lot of stuff for lifts, anyone heard of or used him?

A 3" body lift won't change the ride a bit. It's more lift than you want though.

a leveling kit will stiffen the front up a little bit. and a add a leaf will stiffen the back up too. but bigger blocks in the back wont change anything except height. i personally liked the rear of my truck being stiffer though from the add a leaf

I added a 2" Hell Bent Steel leveling kit and I haven't noticed any difference in the ride. Does anyone know how big the stock rear blocks are on a 2010 FX4?

I talked to the guy at Auto Spring and he said the stock block was 1.5 inches. He sends a 3 inch block for the rear of the 4x4 and says to change the 1.5 out for the 3 to give me the 1.5 I want and I won't be stacking blocks.He also sells a 1.5 front leveling kit so I will probably get it all from him.

I had an 06 F150 4x4 SC that I did the same thing to and really liked the look, not quite stock but not blown out of the water lifted either. I went up 2 tire sizes and it worked out great. In my original post I was kicking around the idea of an add a leaf but I think the amount of lift is unknown, I have heard 1.5 up to 3 inches. The 1.5 block kit seems more to my liking.

Thanks for the responses.
