I ordered these June 2021, they've seen a handful of trails. Less than 300 miles total time between street and trail I would guess. It's about 5" lift with a 6" shackle. These also have a 1" offset to push the axle forward. The front brackets are cut because they didn't clear the A bomb bracket. The springs ride AMAZING offroad, so soft and so flexy. They are pretty squishy as they were built for a trail truck but I never had issues with street manners, I'm sure with a sway bar you wouldn't notice. It really is amazing how well these custom springs do. One bushing is mismatched because I had to replace it in a pinch and didnt have the correct size. I paid 900 2 years ago, looking for 400.

Do you think they’d be 4” lift with stock shackles? Course I could probably come down to 3” even
 
ORD suggested running stock length when I got them and it was probably closer to 4 but I found the eye was hitting the frame pretty easily when flexed and I was trying to get all the flex I could out of it so I switched to 6". I can't say for absolute sure the height with a stock shackle.
 
I do have ORDs heavy duty shackles I do think they are .5” longer….I’d like to try a set of their springs and this is a good price, I wonder what ups would charge to ship them?
 
What would happen if these were put in the rear?

If 4-5” in front, i would think probably 0-1” lift in rear (given stock 52’s generally give 4” lift in front application). Question would be placement of the centering pin, stock rear 52’s are centered 26/26. If for a wheeler couple inches offset would be nice (could always offset it ~1.5” with zero-rate.

Seems like killer price and no wait time for really nice leaves.

Actually, now that you mention this it reminded me these have a 1" offset to push the axle forward. Updated first post.
