    3" Skyjacker lift, SPC upper control arms, 3" Skyjacker rear leaf springs
    Recently put a 3" skyjacker lift on my 99. I went with skyjacker leafs on the rear so I don't have any blocks. It rides really stiff and rough. I'm Wondering if i made it right choice or is there a better, smoother riding lift I should have went with?

    If they don't get any better, would it be better to go with original leafs and blocks?

    The general consensus on blocks are that they are terrible. So I would say no, and they would probably be a stiffer ride.

    However I have no experience with skyjacker. My dakars took about two week before they felt smoother.

    Well if price is not a problem...

    I would have liked to have gone Icon Remote reservoir front and rear with dakar leaf springs.

    However, I am very pleased with my full OME lift kit!
