Post Post Lift Questions

I had a 3.5 inch suspension lift on my 97 F150 done about 9 days ago, I also had 33's put on the truck as well. Due to the holidays' I have had very little time to drive her. Well after two solid days lately I have a couple of questions for those who have already had their trucks lifted via suspension lift like mine. Do you feel more in the floor board when crossing bumps in the road from the front end now after teh lift? Being this is my first ever I'm not sure what is normal. Two - The rear of teh truck had 1 inch blocks put in with Rancho 5000's, when going over a bump the runs the width of the road i.e intersections where the two meet the rear hits really hard is this normal? Again being this is the first time I have ever lifted a truck I'm not sure what is normal. To me they are not since the truck never acted like this before the conversation and tire size increase.

Silver, My truck also has the fabtech lift and 285s....Yes the big bumps and speed bumps feel like they hit harder..springs are stiffer, so I try to avoid speed bumps..ouch...but normal stuff no biggie..Dave

I guess what I am getting at is does it feel sloppy up front? I tend to hear and feel more via the floor board then before is all....I check everything and it seems tight...it may be normal ...I don't know but that's why i am asking
