You're right, I was thinking that vibes felt thru the Jeep could be viewed as "riding rough".

I definitely need longer shocks. But also the rear end has zero give when I try pushing down on the bumper, even with the shocks not attached. And I know it will ride bad with the short arms in front, but that's not my concern right now. The front rides decent enough to be able to deal with and I am building my long arm kit currently. The back is just super stiff and makes for a miserable ride so I was just seeing if anyone knew if these springs were super stiff and require a break in period Til they ride nice or if they are just that super stiff and will never ride nice

How tight are the bolts holding the leaf packs and shackle bolts? I'm not sure on the exact torque specs but maybe they're so tight the springs don't want to move.
