A better bet ,ay be to use front leafs with a rear main. What kind of lift do u have?

It's quite a bit of lift not sure how much and what's the main
Main is the top leaf. You can mix and match to get the length and height that you need. Many prefer to ise 1/2 ton springs though.

My ride is just really rough I have I think 7 leafs in the rear
I cant see the setup too well on this device, but it looks like stock springs, lift blocks, and no shocks. Hmm...maybe try remove one of the overloads because you may be smacking them due to a lack of shocks.
When the blocks where installed, a ubolt flip was done which removed lower shock mount points. There are plenty of weld om solutions to fix this.

I have shocks back on now just in the pic I had a broken shock mount so I too the shocks off
3" lift front springs would put you at a stock height in the rear..... plus it would move your rear axle location considerably forward or backward pending which way you placed the springs.... I would look for a different idea...... The issue with big lift is that at some point you start gaining a lot of arch (especially in the rear) as you have. Big arch equals poor ride and poor articulation. I need to see a picture sitting on flat ground because it looks like your shackles are straight up and down. That will make a rough ride.
How large are your blocks? I am not a fan of blocks but if you have a 2" block you could look into removing a leaf ,aybe even two out of your pack and going to a 3" block.... Your shackles are already fairly long so I wouldnt recommend going that route. If you could remove a leaf your springs would flatten out a smidgin, reduce the rate, allowing the shackle to hopefully no longer be straight up and down... but you will have to find a way to make up the lost height.
