I don't know if they are a board vendor or not, but I had a good experience with Suspension Connection. Their telephone salespeople were very helpful and knowledgeable. http://www.suspensionconnection.com/

Good luck with your project!

I put 2" Softrides front springs on my K20 several years ago. The only thing I had to do was change to longer front shocks. Stock rear shocks just happen to be the correct length for a 2" front lift, fully compressed and fully extended.
