Getting truck to sit level

I have installed a set of tuff county add-a-leafs to the front of my truck. They did what was listed and lifted the truck about 1 3/4". My problem is the truck i still about another inch or so from being level. As far as I know the rear of the truck is stock. I installed air bags at same time as the front add-a-leaf springs for when I pull the trailer. Has anyone else had this issue? Or am I just making a bigger deal than need be?

Every I've had has been that way... calls it rake... my truck sits with about 2 3/4" to 3" difference with no load... but put my top on and/or a lite load and it goes to about 1 1/2" to 1 3/4" difference... they put what seems to be a softer initial spring in the rear on some trucks that allow more compression before going to the heavier load springs... at least on 1/2 ton and some 3/4 ton I've never had a 1 ton or greater.

I have a 99 F350 DRW 4x4 that has about a 3 inch diff if not more and would like to level mine. The only time it was almost level was with 2400lbs of concrete in the back. But what's the best way to get the front high as the back?
