I posted this over in the 2WD Suspension section but then i jumped over here and figured it might be more relevant over here....
So like everyone on here I'm looking to lift my 2wd Ranger. I eventually want to build it into a prerunner but that won't be for a long time so for now I just want something that will lift about 2" and give a stronger ride than stock but not be bouncy. I want to try and avoid the spring spacers if I can and go with a full lift spring. I found some made by Springtech that were a 2" lift for pretty cheap.

Has anyone used these before or know much about them? Quality? Fitment? etc.
The price is right and they are a full replacement spring like I want but i don't want to buy something that is crap. I don't want to spend a ton cause I'm planning on a Camburg or H&M kit in the future. I use my truck for camping alot and I used to have a 96' Impreza built for rally that I would take camping and tear up the dirt roads in so I'm gonna do some rallying with it when I'm out camping and I'm sure I will take it to the desert as its only an hour away. No big jumping or anything crazy, mostly fast dirt roads that will probably be less than smooth and playing out in the desert.
Also, is there any other suspenion companies that make and sell just a 2" lift spring for the 98+ 2wd's?
And i'm planning on using lift shackles in the rear with 2" lift ProComp ES3000 shocks front and rear with the lift springs in the front. I picked the ProComp shocks for the price as there ~38 each. Will these be good dampers for rough and fast driving? Or will it be worth it to save a little more for some Bilsteins?
Thanks in advance for any help!

This is what it all will be going on. It currently has blown stock shocks, cheap spring block spacers in the front with a super stiff front ride, and the helper leaf removed from the rear (all done by PO). I've since spaced down the front shocks with washers to keep them from topping out and re-reversed the shackles to pick the rear up from slamming the bumpstops (much better!).
