Re: 4" lift on 35's?
I don't feel that my Rough country springs are overly stiff. They are firm, don't get me wrong but they aren't rattling my teeth out either. There are softer setups for sure but these don't bother me. Having the shackle flip out back helps the overall ride quality too though.
My shackle flip brackets are different in style than ORD or DIY4X hangers. Mine were built by a now defunct fab shop called Echobit. They use the stock spring hangers and bolt on where the shackle used to sit and extend down to let the shackle bolt up under the bracket. For mine all it took was pulling the shackle bolt to the spring hanger, flipping it under and bolting the flip bracket in and the hanger to it. Still using one of the ord or diy kits don't take much more. You do have to deal with the rivets to the stock hanger, but that's not a problem with a die grinder and air chisel.
As far as sagging is concerned, since it uses stock springs if you have a sag already the shackle flip won't net the normal 4" of lift that it normally done. If you went with blocks instead of the flip you still wouldn't net the 4" it says.
