deaver coil spring. c bushing help

so i've been doing some looking around online and i'm going to go with 5" SuperFlex coil springs for the SAS i'm doing on my 1996 f150 shortbox. unloaded length of these coils is 23" at 300 pounds per inch (coils are for a 78-79 bronco or 66-79 f150) and comparing them to the 6"-6.5" lift coils it appears that these will lift my truck more than the 5" as listed. i will also be mounting them in old school bronco/f150 spring buckets like these (http://www.dufftuff.com/Early_Bronco_Heavy_Duty_Coil_Spring_Towers_p/5110a.htm) which will gain me a couple more inches compared to my stock 92-96 buckets..... right? i took my D44 from a mud truck that had already been SAS. (terrible job. super sketchy "mud truck" swap job mind you) and i need some input on what c bushings to buy. i'm not sure if the drop brackets are stock or the extended kind. could anyone be able to tell by looking at them if they are stock or not and possibly enlighten me on what degree c bushings i need to make my angles right? or also give me a range on how much total lift i would have all said and done?
