sky\jacker 6in lift concern

[dammitmitchell]

hey all
ok i can give you pictures if ya want
i got a skyjacker 6inch lift with springs shocks andthe blocks to make my axels sit at the correct angle for driveshaft input
6 leaf high arch fronts and 7 leaf high arch rears

so heres my ordeal, it's only got maby 400 miles on the new suspensiona nd it rides rigid as hell in front.
i was wondering my rake is about 1 inch low in the rear. . . and the front rides too rigid. .
should i take a leaf off the front (the bottom most 20 inch?) or shoudl i add a leaf to the rear....
im all ready pushing the bumper laws in texas and desperatley want to keep my stock bumpers cause nothgin else looks good but them. . .

any ideas?
and i refuse to block lift, that's ghetto

Dont use an add a leaf the ride will be worse.. I use that in my rear jeep set up, gawd it was ruff.. let it settle a bit then see what happens.

A friend of mine had a skyjacker kit on his blazer, and I have an EZ ride kit from Tuff Country. His always rode rough compared to mine. He used blocks on the rear. Mine has springs front and rear. If it doesn't settle down for you, maybe look into getting some EZ ride springs for the front. Mine is a 76 and his was an 81.
