Yeah, it’s gonna ride like a lawn tractor.
New shocks helped a little, not making it softer but more controlled rebound I suppose.
Which brings up another point, @mxer147, weight under the hood.
I have a big block with AC and before I ever jacked the truck up (I never jacked up the front end by the frame until I measured for shocks last fall), I would have sworn there wasn’t much dead static load sag in the springs. But it was easily 2+” of sag. Maybe 3”.
If you have a small block no AC and stiff lift springs your truck may sit an inch or so higher than mine.

I've always loved the pull truck look. But pull trucks have big sidewalls! No 24's and rubber bands!

My 2" Rough Country suspension lift. Rides very smooth, not stiff at all. Maybe the 4' and above ride stiff, due to more arch in the leaf springs?
