ive been looking at the same thing, but through my searching ive found that ford 53" springs would be better suited for my needs (easier to fab up and flex just as much) the ford springs are off set longer to one end, so you can retain your stock rear hanger and move your front hanger forward 11" and make a rear shackle to fit your lift, i have a 4" lift so i would need a 6" shackle

not alot of figurin involved 
Front hanger 11" forward (eye-to-eye) of the stock front.
Rear hanger 4" back (eye-to-eye) of the rear ( all I did for mine was butted the new hanger to the back of the old one and welded it there)
