Default Ride quality differences between leveling kits?

Thinking of a small 2" level just to clear some 285/65/20 BFG KO2s. Question is, I've heard the Icon's are the absolute best but ride more firm than stock. Performance isn't my main concern since I usually just tour the back roads and explore. I'd like to keep the stock Cadillac ride quality. So of the three names that come up most often on here (Icon, Fox 2.0, and the F150Lifts Boss kits) how do they compare in ride quality? For comparison my 2003 Tacoma rides like ****....it's leans, sways, and rolls around corners and doesn't soak up bumps like the F150. Never noticed till I got this but I'd rather not get that sort of thing with a level. And also would you recommend getting all four shocks, ie the Boss Ultimate kit vs just the front two like the plain coilover kit?

I went with Icon Stage I but will add UCA's in a month or so. Ride isn't as rough as it was with the same kit I had on my 2012 Platinum. That ride was harsh in my opinion. Had the new truck out yesterday on some bumpy roads and I have to say that I'm a bit impressed with the Icon on the new 2015. Don't have experience with the other kits but the guys at Stage3 offer differences on the kits. Nearly went for a King setup and I just might later down the road. Good luck with whatever you go with. Pretty sure they are all close.

My 2 inch Auto Spring leveling kit didn't change the ride or handling at all.
