Default questions with doing a lift???

so im doing the whole ford springs in the front with coil spacers plus in the back lift spring with shackels. but my question is that i have ford f-150 lift springs and regular ones as well, plus i have ford ranger springs as well that are stock and a set of lift ones as well. what would be a good combination with the stuff i have cause i have tons of new and used stuff that i hope can work. please give some advice!!!!!

The F150 springs will ride like a tank not sure about Ranger and hard to say what will work best because you didn't say how much of a lift spring and how much you are lifting the rear. I had a set of F150 springs on a ZJ for all of 3 days and scraped them.
