Try waiting more than 20 minutes.

im not sure exactly what your asking but fom what i understand yes the kit will come with longer springs, that is what gives you the ride height.

in general the flatter and longer the leaf springs the smoother they will ride so by adding lift and getting a sping with more arch in it it will ride a bit more rough, there are other factors but that is just the basics of it
