Default 2" rear block

I put a rough country lift kit on my 97 f150 and the 2" blocks under the leaf springs really stiffened the rear end, is there anything that can be done to soften the ride?

You can try switching to shackles.

the blocks did not make it ride any rougher.. blocks dont stiffen the springs or mess with the ride all the do puy a space between the axle and spring.. wat your feeling is the rough country lift in the front .. wat kinda lift you got?

I have a 3" spindle lift in the front. When I drive over a speed bump or anyother bump, its the back end that feels hard.
