In the front do a shackle, I would not use a block in front even if it is bolted in.

Some people have cautioned against this in the front because they argue it is only a block that it bolted. If you share this concern then 1" from a shackle would also work. The zero rates are $ 40 bucks and probably your cheapest option. Ford also sells a 1" shim that was designed to correct the superduty lean but that runs alot more $. Interestingly they show the shim being placed under an existing block so Ford is technically stacking blocks. Good luck.
I like this idea...
