yeah, because its blocks. any suspension altering device will change the stock ride. plus, blocks are a cheap way to lift it anyway IMO.

it cost to floss.

Now that I think about it, your right, lifting the front shifts weight to the rear. So, can anything be done about softening the rear?

get traction bars regardless of what else you do to stop axle wrap...superlift makes a good setup for that...blocks will not stiffen your ride, but shocks will.....you are probably running the cheap hydraulic shocks which are garbage....upgrade to a good gas charged shock like a bilstein or something

what traction bars are you talkin about? if its the same ones im thinkin about, itll still have axle wrap since its block lift. and "bolt on traction bars" dont work anyway.

and take off your blocks man and throw on a set of leafs instead. not add a leaf, all new leaf springs. more $$, but worth it. itll still ride rough though, but itll be better and be a lot more sturdy too.

I don't have any axle wrap on my superduty or my bronco, and my dodge has it like no other.....I have ladder bars on the superduty, and superlift traction bars on the bronco....the dodge has nothing.....the traction bars are there to prevent axle wrap
