Question lifting rear about 1 inch

I'd like to raise rear of my 2001 F250 crew about 1 inch or so- I do not want to swap out the 2" blocks for 4" blocks since we will be buying a 5th wheel trailer soon and it may be too high.
Will new shocks help??- I've heard of the "helper" springs, but not sure if they will do the job.

did you think about just a single add-a-leaf? Both 1" and 2" are available. A little stiffer ride tho.

Thumbs up lifting rear about 1 inch

You may want to consider an air bag lift. Simple easy and adjustable to what ever load you are carrying.

Why do you only want an inch?

Mustang-
Just cosmetic reasons really- I love the crew cab but it has the short bed and the front of the truck looks huge and the rear I think looks smaller. I've seen the same exact trucks with a little bit of lift in the rear and to me looks nicer- no other reason really..

You might want to try the add-a-leaf.
