Question K10 lift ride quality help/questions

Ok so to start off I've had my 72 k10 (shortbed) lifted 4" on rough country leafs in the front and their blocks in the rear with nice rancho shocks for a while, and the ride is less than cadillac like. Very, very, very less than cadillac like.
Now, since high school I have actually worked up some money and would like to change this. I want to buy some 4" springs for the front to replace the rough country ones and make it ride better. Anyone have any input as to which ones ride the nicest? I found some skyjacker softrides for $358.75 on autoanything (front only), seem like pretty high reviews. Also want to ditch the blocks in the back, but thats looking like $500-650 just for springs (also skyjacker softride) so I might be able to live with the blocks for a while longer.
Any input would be appreciated, including where to get parts cheaper or cheaper springs that would help my ride quality so I can put the money towards posi thanks for reading.
