Need some new lift springs

I have a 6" superlift right now with rear blocks but my rear springs are shot and blocks kinda suck anyway. I am wanting to go with a ez ride or soft ride type setup. Does anyone run these? See my problem is I drive on some really bad roads and my suspension is too stiff. I had to replace my exhaust recently because it was all broke from the roads. My other problems is that I do occasionally haul stuff, sometimes around 1000lbs and my future plans include a nice bumber and winch in the front. So I'm not real sure how the soft rides will like that. Maybe I should stick with regular lift springs? Waddya think guys?

From what I have seen, soft rides will take the weight. I dont know if you are 1/2 or 3/4 ton, but it still it should be fine with 1000#'s.

yeah I'm 1/2 ton. I had some 3/4 ton springs in the rear but they were just too brutal. I put my half ton springs back in (after a couple years) and they are pretty shot, the truck sags pretty hard on one side it looks like crap.
