Just measured my truck. Right now at the top of the wheel wells- front is 39'' and rear 41''. After my 2.'5 level itll be 41.5'' in the front. Debating between which add a leaf would look better. Might go with a 3 inch.

I know, but I hope its pretty close to the 2.5 inches they say from the level. And as far as I know it only has the 4400lbs front end

I'm at my girls sister babies 1st bday, when I get home I'll measure my F350 that has procomp 22210 front level springs...I could swear my front end is just about the same as your stock height. But it's been four years since I did the springs so my memory isn't that great

Put the front lift on. Look at truck. Let settle for a week (yes I mean drive it normal). If it isn't too nose high .....Ha ha...and you can stand to look at it.
After a week you will know exactly how much you need to bring the rear up. What if you put the lift on and it does now sit level. Maybe you like that. I do. It's all up to you but it's really impossible to tell exactly what to add to the back as your current being re-used springs might be exhausted or doing just fine. Get your lift on and see where it all is coming into place.

Not easy to answer. Your current rake is? Exactly. You can only guess about and the fact that you are reusing your existing springs makes it worse. It's hard to know how tired they are.

Your doing this all wrong, lower the rear don't raise the front. There is no advantage to having a higher truck.
Here's my 99 f350 with the ignorant 3.75" factory lift block removed. Instantly preformed better at speed on choppy terrain, no more axle wrap.
No rear lift block and 285/75r16. 52$ for the u bolts

My current rake is front is 39'' and rear 41'. My truck only has 64k on it, past owner was a older gentlemen and only towed a few times a year with a small boat or small camper. Other wise it sat it the garage and it had no snow plow with the front it good. I figure I put the back end up a little higher incase I tow anything heavy. But Ill try that thanks! Im looking to buy it from sdtrucksprings- tuffcountry leveling kit
Also look at the mfg specs of specific tires. A 37, or 35 might be a little under that and depending on the rim width ....
As far as the back there are several options. A longer block. Adding a leaf. A whole new spring pack from bone yard rated higher than your ( but we don't know what you rear leaf code you are starting with so again look in the door area.

I literally sold my jeep cherokee today, we prefered the low COG approach.
I remove sheet metal to clear bigger tires. The reality is the it will handle better lower to the ground. The only true "lift" can be had by installing bigger tires or Portal axles. So if you can clear bigger tires without lifting what's the point?
