any style leaf springs (as long as they're out of a vehicle designed for heavier loads or similar load capacity) and then just use the leafs from the donor packs and make an add-a-leaf setup
(S-10 leafs, Dakota, Durango, explorer etc)
keep in mind though with using f-150 or bronco coils, suspension is going to be stiffer, and also the coils may be little bigger than your stock coil buckets on your front axle...... some some beefing up may need to be done

if you have or plan on putting a full size front bumper (steel brush gaurd) and a winch on the front... it will help compensate for the lack of weight but will still be a little stiff (F-150 coils)

(2" spacers) Most off road shops carry spacers.
But if you get spacers don't go to a little auto store to get them just because they are cheaper they will work themselves down the spring.
A spacer feeds inside of your coild to space it out and effectively lengthening them. But if you are looking at doing any serious off road i would consider just springs no spacers.
Just my opinion though.
