    I was wondering if anyone can give me some information regarding what I can do to me my 6 inch fabtech lift a little more smooth. The front is fine. Mainly concerned about the rear. Im assuming the blocks are whats making the ride so harsh. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Yep custom leaf springs. And for the front if you want even better ride...coilovers for lifted applications like Icon or King.
