deaver springs?

Before I spend 800$ on deaver springs. I want to know how good the ride quality is and how well they perform of road and on road. They say
Our Progressive Series springs are high quality 9-leaf and 10-leaf units fabricated with high grade 5160 "American Made" steel. A higher leaf count spring allows the use of thinner leaf material that yields a more flexible progressive leaf stack, or pyramid, producing a much smoother spring rate curve throughout the complete suspension cycle. The even, linear compression rate curve of our Progressive System spring is the primary key to excellent ride quality.
it makes sense but I want to verify. I currently have the BDS rear glide leaf springs that are very stiff. I have fox 2.0 shocks that control the harsh bounce but if you hit a bump the springs don't move because there so stiff and dont allow travel and they don't (glide).
I would like to know what your opinion is, and are they worth it

They'll perform very well on and off road, they're made for pre-runners so they can take abuse and still keep a comfortable ride. They'll pull great travel numbers too, stock somewhere around like 10" with a set of 2.0's like you have, or if you throw a bed cage in there and a set of 2.5 16" shocks you can pull upwards of 16. But valving on the shocks will also help control the ride too.
