New Goodies, w/ pics and questions.

I just got my new tuff country springs in today. They are their 8" lift 52" rear spring. They look nice but have me a little concerned about actual lift hieght. Here are a couple pics of comparison to a 4" lift 56" rear tuff country spring and a stock hieght 52" spring. My question is for anyone, but mostly towards the people who have rear 8" springs. Do these springs look to give me about 8" rear lift? Sorry for the newbie questions and stuff, but i appreciate the help. On to the pics:

Pics mean nothing til you get it on your ride. Springs settle, etc once installed. Cant go by those pics. Sorry.

I didnt think that Tuff Country sold anything larger than 6" springs?

check out their web site, part number 19870. Sorry they wont be on the truck for about three weeks. The 52's are going up front, but i was trying for about 11" of lift with the overload removed, but i thought they would be much taller then the lifted 56's...

Tuff country uses arch, not rate to get its springs to ride height. The 56" springs are longer/ softer so they have more arch to compensate for the differance.
