ok....first off im going to assume you are running rocks since your on this thread....
a 28" coil spring is gigantic, they were 9" taller than my old 6" lift springs...that is about 15" right there....that is if you keep the stock spring bucket on your frame....if your drop your bucket, then thats just that much more lift
when you are mounting the spring on the rockwell side you can just have the coil bucket raised up a little giving you more lift...
im telling you if you run these springs (which you really dont need to) you will have plenty of lift depending on how you set it up....a 9" f150 spring would be plenty (about 24") think about it thats a big spring.....
