2in lift with a soft ride

[K10noob182]

I returned my Rough Country 2in lifted leaf springs.

Ordered Tuff Country 2in EZ-Ride leafs for the front end.

They had the lowest spring rate according to this chart I found over on the K5 forum.

I will report back when installed.

My original (84) leafs have 2in of travel until they hit the bump stops.

I've been considering swapping out my 6" tuff country HD springs for some 4" ez rides for the same reason, softer. Please report back!

The 2in lifted TC ez leafs will likely arrive tomorrow.

I also received a 2in shackle lift as a backup plan:

If I have time, I will do the (easier cheaper) shackle lift first. Measure the net lift. Try to evaluate the ride quality best I can with the 41yo originals front leafs.

Then swap in the EZ ride leafs and remove the shackle lift. See how that is. If they ride nicely, I will just leave them in place.
