Default Oem HD front coil spring and rear leaf springs

I was looking on Quadratec.com for some oem parts. I came across thier oem HD front coil spring and rear leaf springs replacement. It got me thinking about buying these along with new aftermarket shocks as well. I was wondering do the HD net any lift at all? I already have a 2 inch shackle and spacer lift in my trunk waiting to be installed but I was thinking about waiting to install it along with HD oem parts. I was wondering how much lift does the oem HD give and on top with my BB 2 inch lift.

My understanding that ur not gonna gain lift, just stiffen up the ride. And if your gonna lift it by buying individual parts, it's gonna cost you like 200 more than any kit, at least.. So idk, look at a 3-4 inch lift. If you keep the BB on, then be ready for driveline and steering changes.

So it not worth getting the HD ones? I'm looking to stay around 2 inch lift. I want to freshen up my suspension with new oem parts but with my 2 inch shackle and spacer lift along with it and set of after market shocks for 2 inch lift as well.

HD parts will really stiffen up ride and are only needed when you have a heavy winch/bumper and/or are hauling a trailer or heavy ****. Go with the medium.. But look into rancho 5000 series shocks, I've heard that the hydro's are smoother than the nitro's.. I really liked this following thread, all about big tires and minimal lift/trimming... Dunno your plan for tires, but this is still full of awesome info!
