Re: rear rides stiff
when i did a swap on the rear axle because it was whining i looked at the leafs and they seemed to be fine and the blocks were already on the truck when a bought it so idk if he kept the stock shocks or what. would it be a good idea to buy new shocks?

Re: rear rides stiff
blocks wont make it ride stiff in fact they will do the opposite they do nothing for stiffening suspension. only thing that would make the rear ride stiff is an AAL or the shocks at max extension.

Re: rear rides stiff
maxing the tbars will hurt the ride more than an AAL i would run an AAL over a shackle or larger block but outside of an AAL get shackles the normal beltech 6400s
rest of the photos http://www.fordrangerforum.com/membe...bums-lift.html
thats mine stock shocks stock blocks AAL and a Tbar crank back when i had tbars and the stock leaf pack
