lifting rear of truck

I have a '93 Toyota P/U with marlin SAS in front with 4" springs and Marlin rear with 5" springs and 2" lift shackles. Here is my issue, even when there is nothing in the back of my truck my rear is still lower than front. I have called Marlin and left messages and sent them E-mails trying to get this resolved. I do not think I have 5" springs.

Anyhow, here are the ways I think I can fix this:

1) Add a leaf
2) Block
3) Air Shocks

What do you guys think are the pros and cons and which way would you go?

I already have 2" lift shackles which are 4" longer than stock. That answers both posts, and I am not going to put longer shackles on the truck.
