Add a leaf or block for rear height fix?

Hey guys just purchased an 2015 6.2 f 350. So far love it. Miss the tundra comfort but this truck carries the weight so much better.
I installed a icon 2.5 lift in front but have not touched the rear. The rear needs to come up about 2in with the weight of my hallmark in the bed. Camper will be in fulltime. I have installed timbrens and have the 350 stock springs in. What would all you do to gain my 2in back but carry load? Trying not to replace with a full leaf pack. Add a 2in taller block? Or an add a leaf that has more carry capacity? Just don’t know if there is a good choice for add a leaf. Called local shop and they wanted 780 bucks to install a leaf and take apart stock ones. Love your input thanks

I have set of 2.5in carli pintops so added super springs raising the rear 2in on my f250. Handles well with my Phoenix camper but sits a hair low so thinking of swapping the Super Springs for a set of used Deaver customs (rated for camper) with 4.5in lift. Thinking I'll need to remove the 2in lift block that comes with the f250.

I would do a block and Airlift 5000 airbags with their 2" spacers. That will give you the most adjustability to get the truck riding perfectly.

I know a guy with a F-250 and a Carli pintop setup. One Firestone airbag popped in Gonzaga Bay BC. That resulted in deflating the other bag and driving home "uphill". An add a leaf would be a possibility but the truck might beat you to death with the camper dismounted. Additional blocks will increase axle wrap. Maybe the Super Springs would do it. Thuren sells adjustable rear shackles for Rams but nothing for Ford's. I had Firestone airbags on my prior Ram and had great luck with them. 33 Baja runs with no issues other than an annoying slight psi leak from new. I soaped down all the connections,Schrader valves but nothing. A tire pump I brought worked. Carli sells a Long Travel airbag for a 4.5" lift only.
