I run HD 3 inch Dobbinsons i my GU wagon. No other mods Castor correction is debatable for 3 inch, not for 2 inch.Buy 4 coils and throw them in

I went for HD only because i needed to ensure that when i was loaded with a weekend worth of gear that i retained the 3 inch lift , but for your application medium duty would be fine.

for a 2 inch lift you sould pay no more then $100 per corner as an average. most popular spring makers in that size are offering no better in spring quality and ride than the next guy.just choose the color you like.It is the shockers than make or break your ride quality, it is the shock that controls the spring comfort. Hard or Firm travel

Best of luck in your choices.
