My mate has got some xf Falcon leafs,and was wondering how much lift he will get still using 85mm shackle with the shortest part of the leaf pack at the hanger

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 about 1-2" out of mine, using about 2" over standard shackles (superiors) angled back at about 30-40*

from memory i think the Hypolux runs AU falcon ute springs in the rear.

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.
