Can someone post pics of there F150 spring swap....where your shackle hangers are...flex....just sitting....how much lift you got?

Im getting a 4" IFS lift from Hillbilly (thanks bud!) and I have a set of F150s and I have heard they give about 4-5" of lift.

Looks like the 4x4 springs are 3" wide so you'll probably need new spring hangers to run those.

Edit: I guess I was too slow on the link.
