Question about lifting the front end

I've read a few posts about lifting the front ends of these trucks, which include the springs, drop brackets, etc.

My questions is about the c-bushing degrees. On some posts I've read that you use the 7degree bushings for a 6"+ lift. But I just read a post from a year ago that says if you use the radius arm drop brackets, that you use the stock bushings, and not the 7 degree bushings. I need to know what to use, because I bought both the brackets and 7 degree bushings, and need to know if I can return the bushings or not.

Let me know ASAP! I'm going to be installing 6" springs in the spring time, so the geometry will go back to stock from using the springs and the drop brackets.
