    ditching lift blocks for just a spring lift?

    I bought a 96 2 door Tahoe with what I think it's a pro Comp 6 inch lift. It has 4 inch blocks in the rear. When I stop it acts like the axle is unloading and when I take off the axle winds up. Will re placing the blocks get rid of that axle windup??
