How much lift over a sock spring are they going to give?

To be honest its hard to say since my truck is an m715 and there quite a bit bigger than a standard fsj. From the looks it doesnt seem to have much more arch than the stock 715 springs just a bunch more flex.

The 52" springs are 5" longer and require moving/modifying the mounts.

I understand that since there already mocked into place my question was what did they do with the shackles ie reversal or left them in the stock location

Most guys did FSSR and put a sleeve in the frame for the shackles.
