Yep, it's around 4". If you build your own, you can make it whatever you want.
i got about 3.5" with mine, using 64" springs

A much betterer way is to use stock hangers. IE the ones at the front of your rear springs. Grimreaper, (name?) one of the mods, uses this. It's stronger than cutting a hole in the bottom of the stock rears, and you wont need to put any triangulation on the top. You should be able to get a set for next to nothing at the 'yard, who ever needs to replace those??
thats the way I did it too. found some front hangers off the rear springs of a 2 wheel drive for $20. cleaned them and painted them. just make sure to get your measurements down. I screwed mine up and only got about 1" but soon Ill be changing a few things and Ill move em back to get between 3 and 4 inch so I can ditch the rear blocks.

Grimreaper welded his to the frame, he suggests using bolts. I agree, but I'm lazy and probably would have done the same.
