2002 F150 Leveling kit

I have an 02 f150 2WD with a "leveling" kit. It was on the truck when I bought it. However, the front sets noticeably higher than the rear. The rear has lifting blocks, while the front has the lifted spindles as well as the coil spring spacers. At least I think they are spacers. I had to replace lower control arm bushings a while back, and there were black plastic rings on top of the springs. Can I remove the spacers? If I can, I plan on doing that and replacing the rear blocks with whatever I need to get the stance back.
I like the height of the truck now, just hate the front being higher than the rear. I do pull my boat with it.

You can remove the spring spacers, just make sure the shocks will compress enough and not bottom out......... some guys have used extended shocks when they install taller springs or spacers.

How much of a lift do you have on your '02 F150? My son is looking to lift his same year supercab Ford but has been told so much junk, that we don't know how to go about it the best way. Same for my '04 Super Duty. Suggestions???
