Tuff Country HD to EZ-Ride and shackle Q's

[Kenny78]

I am gathering a 2" lift for my '73. I was about to order 2" EZ Rides but reread some reviews and learned that the HD's are changeable. A custom bumper is a possibility in the future. My question is: Other than the thickness of the bottom spring, how much, if any would it affect advertised ride heigth? My assumption is none, being as short as pictured, but my guess ratio ain't in my favor. Also, of the people running 2" TC's, once settled in how did the shackle look? I am going to purchase DIY4X 4.5" shackles.
Thanks in advance,
Kenny

I contacted Tuff Country customer support and was greeted by a real person The 2" HD spring is a 2" EZ ride with an extra leaf that adds about 100 lbs of rate. This is exactly what I was hoping for. The springs are also produced in the USA
