i dont know why people say ride, a block does'nt change your ride, your still using stock components with a little bigger gap in them. unless their real expensive or custom made, lift springs have a hard time matching a stock spring for smoothness.
if you were jamming the throttle to the floorboard, i could maybe see some axle wrap, even when i'm fully loaded with no run on a 15 degree hill with heavy throttling, have'nt experienced it yet.
if it ever did, a simple antiwrap bar with spherical ends would take care of it
if you want better articulation, hard to beat a well designed spring though, & yeah, a big loop spring set-up looks better than leaf springs that
dont go down to the axle
