Anyone use a 2" suspension lift?

Im curious to see if anyone has had experience with a Tuff Country's easy ride 2" suspension lift, with front and rear springs ? I have a 72 k10 and use this truck as a daily driver It currently has broken rear springs. ( I pull a car trailer weekly)

I want to replace both front and rears, and was wondering if this kit will make the truck ride much rougher? ...... Or does anyone know of any other 2" kits?

Any thoughts? Thanks

I have the 2" HD springs on my 70 and they ride better than stock. Nice and smooth, so much so I'm taking the rough country lift off of my 71 and putting on a 4" tuff country lift.

Interested in selling that rough country kit cheap? I won't pay much, I used to have a 4" rough country kit on my K10, I know how they ride, like a brick haha.

For towing a car trailer you might want the HD springs, the EZ-Ride springs are VERY soft and ride great, but unless you do something to help them out in the back their going to be too soft for any heavy towing I think. My perfect setup would be EZ Ride springs and a air bag setup in the back.
