got the drivers side done today...hopefully will get the passengers side done tomorrow...i need to weld a spot on the bracket on that side though...i think i got about 5-5.5 inches of lift...these are the pics of the brackets...i cleaned them up and painted them w/ some rustoleum...i drilled the holes out to 1/2 inch...i think they are 7/16...i used all grade 8 stuff...

This is with the shackle flip, no blocks or shims:

3"... I replaced the rear spring hangers wit a set of front spring hangers. That more than made up for the blocks. This flexes a LOT more than the old setup, and might not be ideal for everyone.
