Question How to lift the back end of the truck again?

I put a Kore system on my truck 2+ years ago. I am now sick of the back end being so low all the time since I generally have quads, sleds, dirt bikes .... on my sled deck which is 300 lbs to start. Then towing it looks stupid and drives worse with the front end pointing skyward since I have quads on the sled deck and the trailer as well. How do I get the back end back up another 2" again? I was told no to bigger blocks and re arching the springs is my only option, or throw the Kore out and try something else..... that seemed overkill. Anyone in the know please enlighten me on the best options.

Thanks

Don Thuren makes longer shackles for the rear that will give you 1.5" and longer shackles alow for a little more axle movment/articulation. Im doing that with his mini leaf pack to get me to 3" plus im going to take the left over overload spring and cut that into a zerorate add-a-leaf for a little more.

EDIT: air bags would be a good option for the towing.

Airbags would be perfect for your complaints. I've had mine for almost a 100000 miles w/ no issues. I can raise the rear 2 inches or more, the ride just suffers if you add too much air w/o a load.
