I recently installed a 5.5 superlift kit w/extended radious arms on my 93 xl w/spring over axel bracket. But the back still seems lower than the front while driving, but looks fine while parked on a flat. My question was what would be better and durable sollution? An add a leaf or a block?

If you dont already have longer shackles, that would be the best solution now as it would give you slightly more flex. An add-a-leaf would be the 2nd best solution and lastly, the block.
 












Thats what I did with my superlift. Built some shackles.
 






New or used rear springs is the best solution. My rear springs were sagging (170,000-miles). We swaped a junkyard set (70,000-miles) and got about 2-inches of lift back on the rear (SOA). A new set would be better, but cheap is cheap, and my springs were free. Also, you can swap in new spring bushings when replacing the springs.
