Sway Bar Drop Brackets

Does anyone have the dimensions of the front sway bar drop brackets for a 4" lift on an F150? Rough Country sells them (link below) but it looks to me like I could just cut two pieces of channel and make my own brackets. I just need to know how much drop it needs.

I'm not trying to be a smart *** about it because I know virtually nothing about lift kits, but wouldn't it just need to be 4"? If the sway bar is bolted to the frame at the factory and you are lifting the truck 4" then it seems reasonable that's how wide the brackets need to be...

I had the same thought, and if no one replies that's what I will do. I just wanted to double check because I have seen some pictures that make it look like they are less than 4 inches
