Help with lifting info

So here's the situation. My 94 F350 CCLB has a PMFRSK on it now. I got the 3.5" one. I have a 5" block in the rear. Superduty springs on front and rear. I can get measurements for where it sits at now height wise, I'd have to find them later though when I'm at home. I have Bilstien 5100 Series shocks all the way around.

I want to go up another 4" to 6". I was looking at Superlift Supsension leafs for it. I'm assuming I need to look for Super Duty springs since that's what I'm modded for now.

So I have a few questions.

Number one, is there a big difference in the ones that are claimed to be the "soft ride" springs and the ones that are just called lift springs? Skyjacker, Superlift, and Tough Country all have the soft ride or super ride or EZ-Ride springs depending on the company.

Second question, how do I go about determining what I need for shocks? I would like to stick with Bilsten 5100 series shocks, and I know i'll need longer throw shocks, but how do I figure out what ones I need? I'm sure it's something simple and doing math, but I don't know what math to do etc.

Third, what do I need to do with the axle. I thought I saw out there some kind of drop bracket by one of the manufacturing companies that will drop the axle down. I, of course, can't find it right now on either of the two I know, PMF or Sky Manufacturing.

I'm not really in a rush for this, but it will most likely be my next move after dealing with all this motor stuff I'm doing now.

I'd greatly appreciate some help with this, or a point in the direction of someone to talk to in the business.

Thanks guys.
