89 Bronco Solid Axle Swap

I know its probably been asked a million times but lets see some solid axle swapped half tons and broncos, im going to solid axle swap my 89 here soon, i have a high pinion 44 and 9in from a 71 f100. Question is what kind of suspension will i need to buy, would i need to buy a kit to fit the 71 or my 89? And if i have to buy a kit that would fit the 71 will the leafs even bolt up to my bronco? Im only 17 and this is my first time doing anything along these lines since all ive worked on in the past is my dads early broncos and dentsides. And what all do i have to modify on the steering if anything at all? Any pointers and tips would be helpful! Also not sure how high of a lift im going to do just yet, not sure if i wanna go big with a 9in like my dads got on his 79 bronco or keep it simple with a 4-6in lift, Thanks!
