Soften the ride?

Right now i have a 03 F250 with about 12"lift and 40's. The rear is block and curved leafs but the front is all leafs. I have seen others with similar lift heights have what looks to be a large hanger drop? Either way i am looking for any way to soften the ride quality some, now i know is going to ride ruff that's a given, but right now it feels like it has cement tires

With a spring with that much arch, you will never have a ride worth a crap and you will never get that much lift anyway else, aside from 4 link setup and coilovers which is mega $$$$$

You can install Bushwacker "Cut-Out" fender flares, reduce the lift to 6", and use Icon or Deaver leaf springs to get that quality ride.
