What I can tell you is your not going to gain 5" from raising your spring hanger because there isn't that much room to work with. Usually you gain 1.5-2" by raising the spring hanger, and another 2" with a shackle.
My project truck is a 66 F100 with a crown vic front end. I am getting another frame for it here this week, and I have to do a quick swap because I have a small driveway.

So I am trying to gather info for the rear before I tear into it. I have to shorten the wheel base by a inch or so, and while at it I am going to build more drop into the rear before I go to blocks.

Plus my plans for my C20 will likely need the same thing done to get the right height.
