I had a 4" Skyjacker Softride lift on my old '72 Blazer. It rode decent and didn't beat you up but felt a little too soft to me but it may have had more to do with the 35x12.50x15 tires and how much sidewall there was making it feel even softer when cornering. I made regular 6+ hour long trips in it without feeling fatigued or tossed around- could've used cruise control but the ride was decent.
