I would most definitly try getting new longer shocks, some shock absorbers. Rancho shocks would be my first choice...but if your looking to save money I'd go with Pro Comp shocks. That will smooth your ride quality out a good bit...The rear is going to be a little harder to fix because of the add-a-leaf, but again the shock absorbers or longer shocks will help.

You can try the website below. Im about to buy a body lift from them. I've been to one of there stores when I purchased my rims...Very nice and trustworthy individuals.

When you got your superlift kit. Did you pay the extra coin for the upgraded Bilstien shocks? If not, I would order them because the standard shocks I heard are terrible. And as for the leaf spring bushings, give the guys at energy suspension a call for new bushings.
