Create your own custom front pack by using a combination of rear springs up front and put 63" chevy springs in the rear.

plain and simple, superlifts not that great. they dont flex that great and are mostly for show. if you want really good flex replace the rear springs with a set of thesehttp://www.marlincrawler.com/htm/suspension/springs.htm
you then get to replacing the front when you have the money. im sure you could score a little money from the superlift parts.
you could replace your bushings and pull the sway bar. the sway bar just reduces the body roll (which means no flex) thats the first thing to go when i get a new truck ive never had a problem
hope this helps

One thing you can do is set up a pair of ramps and spend a few hours under the truck trying various things to see what is hanging up the suspension:

Things to try are with and without shocks, with and without sway bar, etc. Also look for the way the vehicle leans on diagonal ramps. It will lean towards the corner with the softer springs and away from the corner with the stiff springs. Why is that important? Well, you might find the rear springs are too stiff, for example. Often the case in a pickup with no weight in the bed. Might consider pulling a leaf out of the spring pack and retesting. Usually pulling the second from the bottom leaf in the pack is a good one to remove.
