Will this be ridiculous rake? Stock Front LC 7.5/8 rear

So my rear coils are dead, D-E-D ded. I have about 1inch between the axle and the bump stop, I can feel it hit when I go over a speed bump assuming I don't 4lo crawl over it. I occasional feel it bottom out on the free way over bridge joints and such.

My questions is;

I just picked up some LC coils (Double Purple, light blue, white and Purple, green, white) Can I get away with running them in the rear without changing ANYTHING else for a while? Saving up for a SS 1.2 kit but that's gonna be at LEAST a month in the future.

Would be running with stock 2000 4x4 coils and shocks up front with 200k on them up front. I'm just afraid I'll be sitting at a 45deg angle if I slap the LC's in right now.

Wish I saved pics of when I did my lift and did the rear before the front. Yes there will be a ton of rake.

Could you link the thread and or pics to me? I'd really appreciate that. I'm curious to see just how bad it is and can't seem to find a picture of such because there's so many people running the LC's and most just post Before and after, no rear only that I have seen.
 
Sorry man i didnt save the pics...i have eight wraps, probably 4.5" of lift and with the rear lifted and also still on 265s it looked pretty ridiculous to me!

Get out your jack and jack up the rear frame until level with the front. Then go 3.5" more and step back and take a look. Is it going to look ridiculous? Absolutely. Is going to ride really pretty poorly? Probably. Is there any reason to do this? Not that I can think of...

Save up for the front my friend. Or look for some cheap OEM coils that someone is trying to unload after lifting.

This is the right answer. I just hate haveing the rear "broke" really limits me off road and I wanna get out there! But if motorsports has taught me anything; you have to pay to play.
