Help me with coilover spring rates!

I know there are a few calculators online, but either they seem to overly complicate my setup or they just straight up confuse me...here's what i've got:

I've got 16" 2.0 coilovers in all four corners with the elevated aluminum (2" rise) bottom spring support

The front springs will be holding 450 lbs per corner sprung weight. The front coilovers are straight up and down in the front/back direction and they have a 5 degree tilt inward at the top in the left/right direction

The rear springs will also be holding 450 lbs per corner sprung weight. The rear coilovers have a 12 degree tilt forward and a 12 degree tilt inward in the left/right direction

At ride height the coilovers need to have 6.5" compression remaining which will provide 9.5" of extension from right height. I don't know how to achieve this and determine the proper lengths to ensure the springs will allow the coilover full compression without bottoming the springs first. Any help?
 
Too much to type, call me and I can get you fixed up. Use of the vehicle and a couple other things are all factors in this equation.
