I believe there are only 3 companies that make them. RC, HD engineering, and liquid iron industries.
There was some kid that was making them. I PM'd him but he never got back to me. Search in the fab section for him
I ended up buying the ones from liquid iron

x2 I have the HD Offroad ones. Beefy as hell and fit like a glove. Great adjustability too! Well worth the price he sells them for.

about 5/8" if you use the stock shackles. I used shackles that were 1" longer than stock and got ~1" of lift from the combination
