Question Rear Leaf Springs???

I'm going to purchase the 2" BJS kit and was curious if there were any good rear leaves I could put on for better flex, ride, etc. besides the rear add-a-leaf that you can get with the kit. Any advice would be great

Also what would e a good set of shocks to run with this lift?

Losing the overload leaf on the Chevy's will probably be a better match with the bj spacers.

If you have the $, try Alcan springs.
