5160 rears: more lift?

[Sanpete]

I have 5160’s in the rear on factory springs. I want taller lift in the rear with a less-soft spring than the factory spring for better load carrying.

Can I leave the 5160’s but swap out the factory spring to a taller OME 2889/889? I like these 5160 shocks and see no reason to replace them. Am I missing anything here?

According to Bilsteinlifts.com the 5160 should be good for up to 2inches of lift

Yes, I have Bilstein 5160s on the rear with 2-inch Icon springs. I am really happy with the set up.
