probably none, but lots of flex. It all depends on what you do with the mounts.

definately for the rear, Falcon springs are 200mm longer than IFS rears. I'm doing a set for a mate, drilling the leaves to centre the hanger and I'd say you'd be looking at 3-4" of lift depending what leaves you use and where you position your hangers.

I got Explorers in mine- I'm pretty sure they are same length as XF, but have different leafs and more camber. Everything else being standard, I think they gave about a 1 inch lift, maybe bit more.

Hate to be a wet blanket but XF falcons have four coil's wouldn't be XD springs perhaps.
