Default New or Used Coils?

Ok so right now I have a lift kit that I have made from parts I've found. 4" aal in the back (which is doing fine) and 2" coils with 2" spacers in the front, which are sagging and give me only 3". My question is should I find used 4.5" coils that will give me around 4" and even me out or get some new 3" coils and a 1" spacer? What will ride and flex better? Also I plan to put in new lcas when I switch out the coils. Thanks!

Well the more I think about it, they should flex the same, since I will have longer lcas either way and it should be the same height correct?

The shocks I have are long enough and I have shimmed and put on a tcase drop to fix my vibes... If anything evening the front and back out should give me better driveline angles for the front drive shaft. Thanks for the input though.
