It will handle a bit better then it did but it should ride the same.

just do the 2" shackles, you might notice a LITTLE better handling but as far as comfort goes, you wouldnt even no the diff between teh stockers and the aftermarkets... i had mine 2" shackles for awhile (currently still 2" but the hangers are goin on in a week) and i love the way it sat and rode

I put a set of 2" shackles on the back of my wifes 04 ecsb and it pretty much leveled it out other than the good ol chey lean. The handling was a ton better with that and a set of 20" wheels..

I know it's late, but I put shackles on my truck before I dropped it and it rode the same as stock.
