Practical Reasons for 2" lift?

Guys,
I only get off road for fun rarely. I'm going to be replacing my shocks and wonder if I should just do the 2" lift kit? I'm wondering what other practical reasons other than better clearance off road? I guess larger tire size, what else? If I'm 90% on road will I get any benefits?

Right, well I had planned to just do the shocks as they are the factory ones, I can get her bouncing pretty good just pushing on the bumpers so they are shot. It's only a couple hundred more for the 2" lift kit including all four shocks and springs:
Terrafirma 2" Lift Kit Discovery II
The install to swap out the springs is much more involved as I'm doing this myself. But not planing on over sized tires and not needing ground clearance, I guess I'll take the easy road and just do the four shocks. Do those springs really go that bad after 12 years?
