Rear Springs

[DailyRam]

I posted a while back about rear springs, but since my plan is different now (going to do max front level and want some rear lift to compensate) I decided to start a new thread instead of digging up the old one.
I am wanting to do all of the suspension at once so I am acquiring all the pieces now. I have Bil. 5100's for all 4 corners. Got a smoking hot deal on them so got the rears as well. Planning to set at 2.8" up front. Mevo's are on order.
Now to address the rear. I would really like a dual rate rear spring with 1" of lift. Anyone make these? Everything I have seen in dual rate has been for stock ride height. I have also seen springs for greater than 1" of lift, but not just 1".
Any help would be appreciated.

Icon makes a 1.5" progressive spring. That's probably the closest you're going to get to 1".

So the rear Bils say they are good for 0-1" lift. Is 1.5" too much (I am inclined to think so) and it also changes the geometry more. May have to go with a spring spacer if 1" springs aren't a thing. Any other thoughts? Is a 1.5" spring truly 1.5" of lift?

When I needed a little more load capacity to deal with an ATV rack I used I had Deaver make springs that basically matched the Icons. Those were great with the Bilsteins I had.

Carli suspension makes 3/4" springs for our trucks, along with track bar relocation bracket and adjustable end links specially made for the springs.
