It makes it ride a little harder but not by much. I added a 4" skyjacker this past summer. Ride was ok but dipped in the front a little. I added a extra Add-A-Leaf in the front only which brought it up rather well. Mostly because I have a 1000 lb plow I use during the winter. That helped a lot this winter and truck sits level when the plow is on. Only problem now is the back is a little low due to the extra weight I have for ballast. I should add another leaf back there but will wait until summer to see what it looks like with summer tires on.
The ride isn't much harsher but it is.

I have an add a leaf in the front end. The ride is stiffer, but not so much that it bothers me. Maybe I'm just tolerant, or it could be that my other vehicle is an 83 CJ, and I've never had anything that didn't ride like the axles were welded to the frame!!
