Highboy Lift Review Needed

Springs on my 1975 are sagged pretty good. Was thinking about a 2" or 4" Skyjacker lift but curious as to the ride quality vs. stock. My truck rides pretty good for a leaf spring truck. To those that have done the lift, did you notice a difference, better, worse?
Also, has anyone done a 4" front and 2" rear? I like my trucks level or higher in the front....do not like high in the rear...I know a 2" difference is a little much but I could always get a different block for the rear. Let's here your thoughts.

The High Boy front springs you have now are pretty much the same as the lift springs. If you have a spring shop in your area you could save a lot of cash and just have your front springs arched up a little. Maybe put in some new leaves too if needed. Get a set of polyurethane bushings and bolt them back in.
