79' Front Suspension

Hey everyone, I plan on lifting my truck 4" but there are so many components out there to choose from. I am wondering if any one as ran these parts specifically on a 79' F150 4x4.
This is the plan I have so far. I want to run new radius arms but dont know which ones. My orginals are toast broken shock/spring mounts.

B.C Broncos, James Duff, West coast Bronco's all seem to make ones for the F150. I like B.C because they have stock length ones that look like they will fit the stock brackets. James Duff have nice pieces too.

As for coil springs I was thinking the Deaver Super flex offered by Bronco Graveyard, or The Rock Crawlers by Wild Horses 4x4. Deaver are linear rate while Wild Horses seem to be progressive.

I plan to take it off road nothing too extreme, just some firelane type trails, minor rock crawling, Maybe hit the Silver lake Sanddunes, but I also need to drive on the steet. Thanks for the help.
