Default Mix suspension systems

Good day lads!

I hope you guys can help me out here. I'm about to order a suspension lift kit for my 2000 f150 super cab 4x4 stepside, and I was thinking to mix suspension lift systems if possible as I prefer to have a set of aftermarket leaf springs rather than blocks. Is it possible to put on a fabtech 6'' suspension system on the front and skyjacker's soft ride leaf springs on the rear? Will they match???
Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Cheers boys!

I'm not 100% sure but I believe the blocks is just a cheap way of lifting the back, so by replacing the blocks with add-a-leafs it would be fine. As it will be true suspension in the back. I see no harm?

Hopefully someone who knows exactly the right answer will chime in.

as long as you use the same hight lift parts you will be fine.
