10'' longer!! wholly crap how is that going to work? you have to cut and weld new mounts on or use a 1' shackle? I fitted 2'' longer springs and that has made a huge difference but if you go to long shackle angles go up the creek and as does load capacity

I'm guess your talking rears only as that would be a prick with the fronts!
Have you checked weather you will even get that flex with the longer springs and not be limited by something else?
In my car the limiting factor is tyre clearance, the tyres rub hard on the sidewall of the rear guards not allowing more droop. Springs and shocks have more left in them too.
What you doing upfront? 2'' shackles and 75 series front would probably be your best cost effective solution
springs
